Summary
The documentation for the Azure Import/Export Tool v1 is heavily Windows-centric. It explicitly requires a Windows operating system, mandates use of Windows-specific technologies (BitLocker, .NET Framework), and only provides command-line examples for WAImportExport.exe in Windows-style paths and conventions. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor any alternative instructions or examples for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clarify OS support: If the tool is Windows-only, state this clearly at the top of the documentation.
- If possible, provide or reference cross-platform alternatives or newer tools that support Linux/macOS.
- Add a section comparing platform support and listing any Linux/macOS-compatible workflows for Azure Import/Export.
- If partial Linux support exists (e.g., for drive preparation or data copying), provide Linux-specific instructions and examples.
- Consider offering a Docker container or VM image for Linux users if direct support is not feasible.
