Summary:
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows Server OS families and providing only PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific tools for management and migration. There are no references to Linux-based guest OS families, nor are there any examples or guidance for Linux users. The migration recommendations and tooling are all tailored to Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Include information about Linux-based guest OS families if supported, or clarify if Azure Cloud Services (classic) does not support Linux guests.
- Provide equivalent command-line examples using Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash scripts, not just PowerShell.
- Mention and document migration paths for Linux workloads, if applicable, or explicitly state that this guidance is Windows-only.
- List any Linux-compatible tools or SDKs where relevant, and ensure parity in instructions for both Windows and Linux administrators.
