Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias. Windows server setup instructions and account configuration details are presented first and in greater depth, including explicit PowerShell and Windows-specific tool usage. The installer script is described as requiring PowerShell and installs several Windows-only components (IIS, Windows Activation Service, registry keys), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives for appliance deployment. Linux instructions are limited to credential setup and sudoers configuration, with no guidance on running or installing the appliance on Linux. This creates friction for Linux users and may prevent them from completing the setup if they do not have access to a Windows environment.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for deploying and running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux, including supported distributions and required dependencies.
- Offer Linux shell (bash) equivalents for installer script execution, or clarify if appliance installation is Windows-only.
- If the appliance cannot be installed on Linux, state this limitation clearly at the beginning of the documentation.
- Balance the order and detail of Windows and Linux sections, presenting both platforms with equal prominence.
- Include troubleshooting steps and log file locations for Linux deployments, similar to those provided for Windows.
