Summary:
The documentation for the Azure Migrate appliance exhibits a strong Windows bias. Deployment and management instructions are centered around PowerShell scripts, with no mention of Bash, shell, or Linux-native alternatives. Troubleshooting and certificate management steps are exclusively described using Windows tools (e.g., Certificate Manager, Local Group Policy Editor, Windows Update), and all screenshots are from Windows environments. There are no Linux-specific deployment, configuration, or troubleshooting examples, and Linux users are not provided with equivalent guidance for common administrative tasks.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-native deployment instructions (e.g., using Bash scripts or manual steps for Linux VMs).
- Include troubleshooting steps and screenshots for Linux environments (e.g., managing certificates with openssl or update-ca-certificates, checking group policies or firewall rules on Linux).
- Offer parity in examples by showing both Windows and Linux command-line instructions for common tasks (e.g., verifying MSI signatures, updating the appliance, managing credentials).
- Clarify OS support for the appliance and explicitly state if Linux-based deployments are supported or not. If not, explain the rationale.
- Where PowerShell is required, note if PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported and provide installation guidance for Linux if applicable.
- Add a section or FAQ specifically addressing Linux administrators' needs and common scenarios.
