Summary
The documentation for Azure Migrate Appliance FAQ demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Deployment and management instructions rely heavily on PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Windows certificate manager, group policy editor, Windows Update). Troubleshooting and update procedures exclusively reference Windows interfaces and workflows, with no Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance. Examples and screenshots are all Windows-centric, and Linux is only mentioned as a type of credential, not as a platform for appliance deployment or management.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux-based deployments, including how to run installer scripts, manage certificates, and troubleshoot updates on Linux.
- Include Linux/macOS screenshots and command-line examples (e.g., using bash, OpenSSL, or Linux certificate stores) where applicable.
- Clarify whether the appliance can be deployed or managed on Linux hosts, and if not, explicitly state the platform requirements.
- Offer guidance for certificate management and MSI validation on Linux, or note cross-platform limitations.
- Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or Linux instructions are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones.
