Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate replication appliance demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All operating system requirements, installation instructions, and examples are exclusively for Windows Server (2016/2012 R2). There is no mention of Linux support, Linux-based deployment, or Linux-specific instructions. Tools and paths (e.g., C:\Temp\ASRSetup, .msi installers) are Windows-specific, and there are no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided. The documentation assumes the appliance will always run on Windows, even when deployed on physical hardware.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based replication appliances are supported or not. If not supported, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux is supported, provide equivalent instructions for deploying and configuring the appliance on Linux (supported distributions, package requirements, installation steps, service management, etc.).
- Include Linux-specific examples for MySQL installation (e.g., using apt, yum, or tarballs), file paths, and permissions.
- Mention Linux-compatible tools and commands where appropriate, or provide cross-platform alternatives.
- If only Windows is supported, add a rationale for this limitation and guidance for Linux-only environments.
