Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All setup and installation instructions use Windows-specific tools and commands (PowerShell, CertUtil, Registry Editor, Windows roles like IIS), with no equivalent Linux instructions or examples. The process assumes the appliance is being set up on a Windows server, and there is no mention of Linux-based deployment or commands for Linux environments. Linux is only referenced as a discovery target, not as a platform for running the appliance.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent setup instructions for deploying the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux servers, including shell script examples and Linux package dependencies.
- Include Linux commands for verifying file hashes (e.g., sha256sum) alongside CertUtil.
- Document how to run the installer script and configure the appliance using Bash or compatible Linux shells.
- List Linux prerequisites (e.g., required packages, services) and describe how to install/configure them.
- If the appliance cannot be run on Linux, state this limitation explicitly at the beginning of the documentation.
- Ensure all steps that reference Windows tools (PowerShell, Registry Editor, IIS) have Linux alternatives or clarifications where applicable.
