Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas: Windows server preparation is described before Linux, with more detailed steps and troubleshooting guidance; the installer script is exclusively run via PowerShell with no mention of a Linux alternative; appliance installation and configuration steps reference Windows-specific tools (IIS, PowerShell ISE, registry keys) and file paths; troubleshooting and logs are described only for Windows; and there is no example or guidance for running the appliance installer or managing the appliance on Linux. Linux instructions are limited to credential setup and sudoers configuration, with no parity for appliance installation or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-based installation instructions for the Azure Migrate appliance, including how to run the installer script on Linux servers.
  • Offer Linux equivalents for appliance management, such as log file locations, troubleshooting steps, and required packages/services.
  • Include Linux-first or parallel examples for credential setup, server discovery, and agentless dependency analysis.
  • Clarify whether the appliance can be installed and operated on Linux, and if not, state this explicitly and suggest alternatives for Linux environments.
  • Balance the order and detail of Windows and Linux sections to ensure equal guidance and visibility for both platforms.
