Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate appliance demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Deployment and management instructions rely heavily on PowerShell scripts, with no mention of Bash, shell, or Linux-native alternatives. Troubleshooting and certificate management steps are exclusively described using Windows tools (e.g., certificate manager, group policy editor, Windows Update), and all screenshots and UI references are Windows-centric. There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples or guidance for appliance deployment, management, or troubleshooting, even though Linux credentials are supported for discovery.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific deployment instructions, including Bash or shell script alternatives to PowerShell.
- Include troubleshooting steps for certificate validation and MSI signature checks using Linux tools (e.g., openssl, certutil, update-ca-certificates).
- Add guidance for managing appliance updates and certificates on Linux-based hosts, including equivalent commands and UI navigation.
- Ensure parity in screenshots and examples, showing both Windows and Linux environments where relevant.
- Clarify OS requirements and support for running the appliance on Linux or macOS, or explicitly state if only Windows is supported.
