Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all instructions, examples, and tooling are exclusively for Windows. The prerequisite explicitly requires a Windows system, all command-line examples use Windows paths and PowerShell, and the only tool provided (WAImportExport.exe) is a Windows executable. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives, nor any guidance for non-Windows users.
Recommendations:
- Clarify early in the documentation whether the Azure Import/Export tool is available for Linux or if there are alternative workflows for Linux users.
- If a Linux version of the tool exists, provide download and usage instructions, including Linux shell command examples.
- If only Windows is supported, explicitly state this limitation and suggest workarounds (e.g., using a Windows VM or container).
- Where possible, use platform-neutral language and file paths, or provide both Windows and Linux examples side by side.
- Highlight any cross-platform REST API options that could be used from Linux, and provide sample scripts or commands for Linux environments.
