Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It provides installation instructions and security hardening guidance exclusively for Windows Server, referencing PowerShell scripts, Windows security baselines, and Windows-specific tools (such as the Security Compliance Toolkit and DPAPI). There are no equivalent examples or recommendations for deploying or securing the appliance on Linux, nor are Linux hardening or credential management practices discussed. Windows terminology and tools are mentioned first and often exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit instructions and examples for deploying and securing the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux systems, including supported distributions.
- Provide Linux-based installation methods (e.g., shell scripts, package managers) alongside PowerShell/Windows instructions.
- Reference Linux security hardening guides (such as CIS Benchmarks or OS-specific security baselines) and tools (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor) in the OS image hardening section.
- Describe Linux credential storage and encryption mechanisms (such as GnuPG, LUKS, or kernel keyrings) if supported by the appliance.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are given equal prominence, or clarify if the appliance is only supported on Windows.
- If Linux is not supported, explicitly state this early in the documentation to set expectations.
