Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily referencing Windows OS credentials, PowerShell requirements, and Windows-specific tools (such as Appliance Configuration Manager and credential formats). There is no mention of Linux-based discovery, Linux authentication methods, or examples for non-Windows environments. The prerequisites and instructions focus on Windows-centric patterns, with Linux parity missing throughout.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit instructions and examples for discovering SQL Server instances on Linux servers, covering authentication and credential requirements for Linux environments.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for PowerShell (such as Bash scripts or CLI commands) and clarify if the Azure Migrate appliance supports Linux-based discovery.
  • Provide guidance on required permissions and credential formats for Linux systems, including sudo or service accounts.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and screenshots for Linux-based appliances and environments.
  • Clarify whether the appliance can discover SQL Server instances running on Linux, and if so, detail any differences in process or requirements.
