Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Hyper-V. All setup, preparation, and scripting examples use Windows tools (PowerShell, WinRM, CertUtil, Hyper-V Manager), with no Linux/macOS alternatives or parity. While Linux servers are supported for discovery, the appliance and all operational steps are Windows-centric, and Linux users are left without guidance for equivalent tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit guidance for deploying and managing the Azure Migrate appliance from Linux/macOS hosts, if supported.
  • Include Linux/macOS command-line alternatives for tasks like hash verification (e.g., sha256sum), remote management, and credential delegation.
  • Clarify whether the appliance can be run on non-Windows hypervisors or hosts, and document any limitations.
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific troubleshooting and setup instructions where relevant.
  • If Windows-only is a hard requirement, state this clearly at the top of the documentation.
