Summary
The documentation for Azure Migrate demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific features (such as Windows Server redeployment, Windows OS upgrades, and Windows licensing benefits) are frequently highlighted, often before or in greater detail than Linux equivalents. PowerShell is repeatedly mentioned as the automation and scripting tool, with little to no reference to Bash or Linux-native automation. Windows-centric tools (e.g., System Center Operations Manager, IIS, ASP.NET, RVTools) are referenced, while Linux tools or patterns are rarely mentioned. Examples and migration scenarios for Linux are present but less detailed, and Linux-specific migration nuances (such as SELinux, systemd, or Linux disk formats) are not discussed. There are several updates focused on Windows Server, SQL Server, and related licensing, with fewer updates focused on Linux workloads.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-first examples and scenarios, such as migrating Linux workloads with SELinux, systemd, or specific Linux distributions (beyond RHEL/SLES).
- Include Bash and Linux-native automation examples alongside PowerShell, especially for scripting and automation steps.
- Highlight Linux migration tools and patterns (e.g., Ansible, rsync, cron jobs) where appropriate.
- Ensure parity in feature announcements and migration guidance for Linux workloads (e.g., disk encryption, agent installation, dependency analysis) with detailed Linux instructions.
- Reference Linux-specific challenges and solutions (e.g., handling ext4/xfs filesystems, SSH key management, application discovery for Linux web servers like Apache/Nginx).
- Balance the documentation by providing equal detail for both Windows and Linux migration scenarios, including troubleshooting and best practices.
