Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and command-line examples are almost exclusively provided for Windows environments, specifically using PowerShell, Command Prompt, and Windows tools (e.g., services.msc, MMC snap-ins, editing C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). There are no Linux shell equivalents or instructions for users running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux. Tools and patterns (such as PowerShell cmdlets and Windows service management) are mentioned first and sometimes exclusively, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux shell commands for all PowerShell/Command Prompt examples (e.g., use 'systemctl' or 'service' for service management, 'nslookup' and 'netcat' for network tests, and instructions for editing /etc/hosts).
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance can run on Linux, and if so, include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps.
  • For commands like 'Test-NetConnection', offer alternatives such as 'nc', 'telnet', or 'curl' for Linux.
  • When referencing file paths (e.g., hosts file), include both Windows and Linux locations.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., azcopy, Service Bus Explorer) and provide installation/use instructions for both Windows and Linux.
  • Avoid assuming users are on Windows by default; structure troubleshooting steps so that Windows and Linux instructions are presented in parallel or with clear headings.
