Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All example commands and automation scripts are provided in PowerShell, with explicit references to Windows Server versions and Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, Local Group Policy Editor, CertUtil). Steps for appliance deployment and host preparation are exclusively described using Windows-centric methods, with no Linux equivalents or alternative tooling mentioned. Linux is acknowledged as a supported guest OS for discovery, but there are no examples or instructions for Linux administrators or environments. The documentation assumes the administrator is working in a Windows ecosystem, creating friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, such as how to deploy and manage the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux-based Hyper-V hosts (if supported), or clarify limitations.
  • Include Linux command-line alternatives where PowerShell or Windows tools are used (e.g., hash verification, credential delegation).
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux administrators, including troubleshooting steps and supported management tools.
  • Clearly state any limitations or requirements for Linux users up front, and link to Linux-specific documentation where available.
  • Reorder examples to present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections, rather than Windows-first.
