Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias: the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool must be installed and run on a Windows machine, with explicit requirements for Windows Server or Windows 10. All installation instructions and troubleshooting steps are Windows-specific, including use of PowerShell for installation and references to Windows file paths for artifacts and logs. There are no instructions or examples for running the tool on Linux or macOS, nor are alternative Linux-native workflows or tools mentioned. The documentation assumes the user is operating from a Windows environment, even though the target applications are Java web apps running on Linux servers.
Recommendations
  • Provide instructions and support for installing and running the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool on Linux (and possibly macOS), including prerequisites, installation steps, and troubleshooting.
  • Offer Linux shell (bash) equivalents for installation and operational commands, in addition to PowerShell examples.
  • Document storage locations and log paths for Linux environments, if supported.
  • Clarify whether the tool is Windows-only, and if so, explain the rationale and suggest alternative approaches for Linux users.
  • Consider developing or highlighting cross-platform or Linux-native migration/containerization tools for Java applications.
  • Ensure parity in documentation structure and examples for both Windows and Linux users, especially given the target workload is Linux-based.
