Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by providing remediation steps for the Azure Migrate appliance that exclusively use Windows tools and patterns (Remote Desktop, %programdata% path, PowerShell commands for service management). There are no Linux equivalents or examples for managing the appliance, and Windows-centric instructions are presented first and exclusively. No guidance is given for scenarios where the appliance might be running on Linux, nor are Linux service management commands or file paths mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux instructions for managing the Azure Migrate appliance, including file paths (e.g., /var/lib/...), service management commands (systemctl, service), and remote access methods (SSH).
  • Include Linux-based examples alongside Windows/PowerShell examples for all steps involving appliance configuration and troubleshooting.
  • Clarify whether the appliance can run on Linux, and if so, ensure parity in documentation for both platforms.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology and tools exclusively; present cross-platform alternatives where possible.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and provide links to platform-specific guides if the appliance is Windows-only.
