Summary
The documentation page for Azure Migrate assessments demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric technologies (Hyper-V, SQL Server, IIS), providing examples and troubleshooting steps that are specific to Windows environments, and omitting explicit Linux server or workload examples. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., dynamic memory in Hyper-V, IIS for web apps, SQL Server) are mentioned exclusively or before any Linux equivalents, and there is a lack of guidance for Linux-based workloads, such as Apache, Nginx, or MySQL/MariaDB. This may make the documentation less accessible or useful for users migrating Linux servers and applications.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and troubleshooting steps for Linux servers and workloads (e.g., Apache, Nginx, MySQL, PostgreSQL) in assessment scenarios.
- Include Linux-specific migration considerations, such as differences in performance counters, agent installation, and readiness checks for common Linux distributions.
- Provide parity in documentation by mentioning Linux environments alongside Windows/Hyper-V/SQL Server/IIS in all relevant sections.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, cron, Linux disk and memory management) where appropriate.
- Clarify whether Azure Migrate supports discovery and assessment of Linux workloads and provide links to Linux-specific tutorials or guides.
