Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It consistently presents Windows and PowerShell-based instructions and tools first, and often exclusively, especially in setup, scripting, and troubleshooting steps. The use of Windows-specific tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell, CertUtil, WinRM, Group Policy Editor) is pervasive, with little to no mention of Linux equivalents or alternative workflows. While Linux servers are mentioned as supported targets for discovery, there are no Linux-based examples, scripts, or guidance for deploying or managing the Azure Migrate appliance from a Linux environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-based instructions for deploying and managing the Azure Migrate appliance, including command-line examples for common Linux hypervisors (e.g., KVM, QEMU) where applicable.
  • Include Linux shell script equivalents for steps currently covered only by PowerShell scripts (e.g., validating file hashes, enabling remote management).
  • Mention and document Linux tools and patterns (such as SSH, systemd, firewall-cmd/iptables) alongside Windows tools for appliance setup and connectivity.
  • Offer troubleshooting and validation steps for Linux environments, including how to verify connectivity, permissions, and prerequisites using Linux commands.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and provide alternative guidance for Linux administrators where possible.
  • Add screenshots or walkthroughs showing the appliance setup and credential management from a Linux admin perspective.
