Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate appliance demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Deployment and management instructions are centered around PowerShell scripts and Windows tools (e.g., certificate manager, group policy editor, Windows Update). Troubleshooting steps and examples are exclusively Windows-based, with screenshots and instructions referencing Windows UI and utilities. There are no Linux-specific deployment, management, or troubleshooting examples, nor are Linux equivalents mentioned for key operations. The documentation assumes the appliance is running on Windows, even though Linux is referenced as a supported credential type.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific deployment instructions, including shell script or CLI alternatives to PowerShell for appliance setup and management.
- Include troubleshooting steps for certificate validation and MSI installation on Linux-based appliances, referencing relevant Linux tools (e.g., openssl, update-ca-certificates).
- Add examples and screenshots for Linux environments where applicable (e.g., managing certificates, checking agent health, updating the OS).
- Clearly state OS requirements and support for the appliance, and if Linux is supported, ensure parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., group policy editor, certificate manager) or clarify if certain steps are Windows-only.
- Ensure that credential management and SQL Server discovery instructions include Linux scenarios and authentication methods.
