powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation page exclusively references Windows Server OS families, provides only Azure PowerShell scripts for discovery, and recommends Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, .NET Framework). There are no examples, guidance, or references for Linux-based guest OSes or management tools, and the migration recommendations are entirely Windows-focused.
Recommendations:
- If Linux-based guest OSes are supported in Azure Cloud Services (classic or extended), include equivalent guidance and examples for identifying and migrating Linux workloads.
- Provide CLI (az cli) or cross-platform scripting examples (e.g., Bash) in addition to PowerShell, or clarify if only PowerShell is supported.
- Mention Linux guest OS families, if applicable, and provide parity in recommendations for migration and support.
- If the service is Windows-only, explicitly state this at the beginning of the documentation to set expectations for Linux users.
