Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows. All instructions, examples, and tooling are exclusively for Windows, specifically referencing PowerShell, Windows command-line, and a Windows-only executable (WAImportExport.exe). There are no Linux or cross-platform instructions, nor any mention of Linux support or alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state if the Azure Import/Export tool is Windows-only, and if so, provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., using a Windows VM, Docker container, or alternative workflows).
  • If possible, provide a Linux-compatible version of the tool or a cross-platform alternative, and include equivalent Linux command-line examples.
  • Explicitly mention the lack of Linux support early in the prerequisites, to set expectations for non-Windows users.
  • If the tool can be run under Wine or similar compatibility layers, document and test this as an option for Linux users.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic language and examples, or provide parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
