Summary:
The documentation is focused exclusively on migrating Hyper-V (a Windows-centric virtualization platform) servers to Azure, with all instructions, terminology, and tooling centered around Windows environments. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and the tools and patterns described (such as the Hyper-V Replication provider, Azure Site Recovery provider, and Recovery Service agent) are specific to Windows/Hyper-V. No mention is made of Linux-based hypervisors or how to perform similar migrations from Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel documentation or clear links for migrating from Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, Xen, or VMware on Linux) to Azure using Private Link.
- Where possible, provide cross-platform examples or clarify which steps/tools are Windows-specific and offer Linux alternatives if available.
- Explicitly state the scope of the documentation at the beginning, clarifying that it is for Hyper-V/Windows environments, and direct users to Linux migration resources if their scenario differs.
- If agent-based migration is supported for Linux VMs, provide a section or references on how to use it with Private Link.
- Review terminology and instructions to ensure they do not assume a Windows-only audience unless truly unavoidable.
