Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments, with troubleshooting steps and examples almost exclusively using Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, MMC snap-in, services.msc, Command Prompt), and no Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance. All command-line examples and instructions assume the Azure Migrate appliance is Windows-based, and there are no alternative steps for users running Linux-based appliances or accessing via SSH. This creates friction for non-Windows users and may prevent them from completing tasks without significant adaptation.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands for all PowerShell and Windows tool instructions (e.g., use curl, netcat, systemctl, etc.).
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Azure Migrate appliances running on Linux, if supported.
  • Add notes clarifying OS requirements for the Azure Migrate appliance and explicitly state if only Windows is supported.
  • Where tools like azcopy or Service Bus Explorer are used, provide installation and usage instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS side by side, or alternate which OS is shown first.
