Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool can only be installed and run on Windows machines, with no support or examples for Linux or macOS hosts. All installation instructions and troubleshooting steps are Windows-specific, including the use of PowerShell for installation and references to Windows file paths for logs. There are no Linux/macOS alternatives or parity in the tool's usage, despite the fact that the applications being containerized are running on Linux servers.
Recommendations
  • Develop and document a Linux/macOS version of the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool, or provide a supported containerized version that can be run cross-platform.
  • Provide installation instructions and examples for Linux/macOS environments, including shell commands and file paths.
  • Offer troubleshooting guidance for non-Windows hosts.
  • Clearly state Windows-only limitations at the top of the documentation and link to alternative migration/containerization approaches for Linux/macOS users.
  • If Windows is required, suggest using a Windows VM in Azure or locally as a workaround, and provide guidance for setting this up.
