Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias. The replication appliance required for migration must be hosted on Windows Server 2022, with no Linux alternative mentioned. Windows-specific instructions and screenshots are provided first and in more detail, while Linux steps (such as Mobility agent installation) are present but less emphasized. The appliance setup and management rely on Windows tools and patterns, and Linux users must adapt by using a Windows VM for the appliance, which may create friction.
Recommendations
- Clearly state early in the documentation that the replication appliance must run on Windows Server, and explain why no Linux alternative exists.
- Provide guidance for Linux-only environments, such as how to provision a temporary Windows Server VM for the appliance if needed.
- Where possible, offer parity in example commands, screenshots, and troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Highlight any Linux-specific considerations or limitations (e.g., Amazon Linux migration restrictions) in a dedicated section.
- If future Azure Migrate releases support Linux-based appliances, update documentation to reflect this.
