Summary
The documentation for deploying an Azure Storage Mover agent is notably Windows-centric. It consistently references Windows Hyper-V first, provides step-by-step instructions and screenshots exclusively for Hyper-V (a Windows technology), and links to Windows Server documentation. VMware is mentioned as an alternative, but no detailed steps or screenshots are provided for it. There is no mention of Linux-based virtualization platforms (such as KVM or VirtualBox), nor any guidance for deploying the agent on Linux hosts. The agent image is described as compatible only with Hyper-V and VMware, and other environments are explicitly marked as unsupported.
Recommendations
- Clarify in the prerequisites and introduction that only Windows Hyper-V and VMware are supported, and explicitly state that Linux-based virtualization platforms are not currently supported.
- If future support for Linux virtualization platforms (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox) is planned, add a section outlining their status and any workarounds.
- Provide parity in instructions for VMware users, including step-by-step guidance and screenshots, not just a reference to external documentation.
- Consider adding a FAQ or note for Linux users explaining the lack of support and suggesting alternatives or future roadmap if applicable.
