Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows Server and Azure Hybrid Benefit specifically for Windows Server machines, and by suggesting manual DNS edits via the 'hosts file' on the Azure Migrate appliance (a Windows-centric pattern). There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples or instructions, and Windows terminology appears first or exclusively in several steps.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit instructions and examples for Linux-based Azure Migrate appliances, such as how to edit /etc/hosts for DNS overrides.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance can run on Linux and provide parity in setup, troubleshooting, and migration steps.
  • Mention licensing benefits or considerations for Linux VMs (e.g., Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability or alternatives).
  • Avoid Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'hosts file') without also referencing Linux/macOS equivalents.
  • Provide troubleshooting steps and network validation commands for Linux (e.g., using dig, nslookup, or host).
