Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the management and configuration sections. Examples for bandwidth throttling use Windows PowerShell cmdlets (New-NetQosPolicy) and reference Windows-specific services (GatewayWindowsService.exe). The configuration of blackout windows references a Windows file path (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Azure\Config) and restarting a Windows service, with no mention of Linux equivalents or instructions. There are no Linux/macOS examples or alternative commands provided for these operational tasks, and Windows tooling is presented as the default or only option.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions for bandwidth throttling, such as using tc, iptables, or other Linux QoS tools.
  • Document the location and format of configuration files on Linux appliances, if supported, and how to restart relevant services (e.g., systemctl).
  • Include Linux/macOS command-line examples alongside PowerShell, or clarify if the appliance is Windows-only.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for the Azure Migrate appliance, including whether Linux-based appliances are supported for agentless migration.
  • If Linux/macOS is not supported, clarify this early in the documentation to set expectations for non-Windows users.
