Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific migration scenarios, tools, and features. Windows Server is mentioned explicitly and repeatedly (e.g., end-of-support, OS upgrade), with detailed guidance and features (such as in-place OS upgrade using Custom Script Extension for Windows). There is little to no mention of Linux-specific migration considerations, tools, or examples, and Linux is only referenced in passing (e.g., Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux subscriptions) without substantive guidance or parity in migration features.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for migrating Linux servers, including common Linux distributions and their unique migration challenges.
- Highlight Linux-specific tools, features, and extensions available in Azure Migrate, such as support for in-place upgrades or recommended migration paths for Linux workloads.
- Include parity for OS upgrade scenarios for Linux (if available), or clarify limitations and alternative approaches for Linux server upgrades during migration.
- Provide sample assessment and migration reports/screenshots for Linux workloads to match the Windows examples.
- Ensure that references to end-of-support operating systems include major Linux distributions (e.g., CentOS, Ubuntu LTS, RHEL) and their migration implications.
- Balance the documentation by mentioning both Windows and Linux migration blockers, remediation guidance, and compatibility considerations.
