Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions and examples assume the use of Windows Server (2019/2022) as the host OS for the Azure Migrate appliance, and all scripting and command-line steps use PowerShell. Windows-specific tools (CertUtil, IIS, registry keys, Windows roles) are referenced exclusively, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives or support. There are no Linux-based installer scripts, commands, or troubleshooting steps, and the appliance setup appears to require Windows-only components.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation whether Linux-based hosts are supported for the Azure Migrate appliance. If not, explicitly state the Windows-only requirement.
- If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for deploying the appliance on Linux (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux prerequisites, checksum validation using sha256sum, Linux service setup).
- Include troubleshooting and validation steps for Linux environments, such as log file locations and service management.
- Offer parity in examples and screenshots, showing both Windows and Linux workflows where applicable.
- If PowerShell is required, note whether PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported, and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
