Summary
The documentation for Azure Import/Export service is heavily biased toward Windows environments. Only Windows operating systems are listed as supported for the WAImportExport tool, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. All software requirements reference Windows technologies (.NET Framework, BitLocker). Disk preparation instructions exclusively use PowerShell commands, with no Linux/macOS alternatives. There is no guidance for Linux users, nor any mention of cross-platform tools or patterns.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether the WAImportExport tool is available for Linux/macOS, or explicitly state Windows-only support.
- If possible, provide Linux/macOS compatible tooling or workflows for disk preparation and data transfer.
- Include equivalent Linux commands (e.g., using lsblk, fdisk, or hdparm) for checking disk sector size.
- Mention cross-platform alternatives for BitLocker or disk encryption, if relevant.
- Add a section addressing Linux/macOS users, including any limitations or workarounds.
