Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All setup and deployment instructions rely exclusively on PowerShell, Windows administrative tools, and Windows-specific patterns (e.g., registry edits, IIS roles, Windows Activation Service). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or alternative instructions, and the examples, screenshots, and file paths are all Windows-centric. Linux is only mentioned as a target for discovery, not as a platform for running the appliance.
Recommendations
- Provide instructions for deploying and running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux (and/or macOS), including supported distributions and prerequisites.
- Offer Linux/macOS equivalents for script execution (e.g., Bash scripts, shell commands) and clarify if the installer script can be run in a cross-platform manner.
- Document how to perform necessary configuration steps (such as registry edits, IIS setup) on Linux, or clarify if these steps are Windows-only.
- Include Linux/macOS screenshots and file path examples where relevant.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and offer guidance for Linux/macOS users if the appliance is Windows-only.
