Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate replication appliance is heavily Windows-centric. All operating system requirements, examples, and instructions are for Windows Server (2016/2012 R2). There are no references to Linux or macOS as supported platforms for the replication appliance, nor are there any examples or instructions for deploying, configuring, or managing the appliance on non-Windows systems. Windows tools, file paths (e.g., C:\Temp\ASRSetup), and concepts (Windows Server roles, group policies, IIS settings) are mentioned exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based deployment of the replication appliance is supported or not. If not supported, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux deployment is possible, provide equivalent instructions, requirements, and examples for Linux systems (e.g., supported distributions, required packages, file paths, service management).
- Include Linux-specific guidance for MySQL installation, such as using apt/yum/zypper, and relevant file locations.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows Server roles, group policies, and IIS settings, or clarify which steps are not applicable to Linux.
- If only Windows is supported, add a prominent note for Linux/macOS users, and suggest alternative migration approaches if available.
