Summary
The documentation provides migration guidance for both Windows and Linux VMs, but the only scripting example is a PowerShell script, which is a Windows-centric tool (even though PowerShell Core is cross-platform, its usage is still more familiar to Windows users). The script prerequisites and instructions are PowerShell-specific, and there are no equivalent Bash or Linux-native scripting examples. Additionally, in the migration steps and limitations, Windows terminology (e.g., Windows services, Windows registry) is listed before Linux equivalents (Linux files, Linux daemons), and screenshots and UI flows do not highlight Linux-specific considerations. There is no mention of Linux command-line alternatives or parity for automation.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users, or document how to perform the migration using native Linux tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash).
  • Explicitly mention Linux-specific steps or considerations in portal flows and screenshots.
  • List Linux and Windows data types in a neutral or alternating order to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Clarify PowerShell Core cross-platform compatibility and provide installation guidance for Linux/macOS.
  • Add troubleshooting or FAQ sections for common Linux migration issues.
