Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate replication appliance is heavily Windows-centric. All operating system requirements, examples, and instructions reference Windows Server (2016/2012 R2) exclusively, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. Software installation paths and instructions (e.g., MySQL installer in C:\Temp\ASRSetup) are Windows-specific, and all references to system configuration, licensing, and roles are for Windows Server. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or guidance, and the documentation does not clarify if Linux-based appliances are supported or possible.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Linux-based replication appliances are supported. If not, explicitly state Windows-only support.
- If Linux is supported, provide equivalent Linux instructions, including OS requirements, installation steps, and configuration paths.
- Offer Linux-specific examples for MySQL installation and other required software.
- List Linux system requirements and configuration recommendations alongside Windows ones.
- Include notes on cross-platform limitations and alternatives for non-Windows users.
