Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows-specific connection instructions before Linux, referencing Windows tools (such as Windows Firewall and RDP) in detail, and providing more granular steps for Windows than for Linux. There is also a lack of parity in example depth and troubleshooting guidance for Linux systems, and some features (like Multipath IO) are only mentioned as supported for Windows servers.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or in separate, equally detailed sections, rather than listing Windows first.
- Expand Linux-specific guidance for post-migration connectivity, including common troubleshooting steps, firewall configuration examples (e.g., using ufw, firewalld, or iptables), and SSH hardening tips.
- Where Windows tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., Windows Firewall, RDP), provide equivalent Linux commands or tools (e.g., SSH, firewall-cmd, ufw).
- Clarify support for advanced Linux features (e.g., multipath IO, encrypted disks, SELinux/AppArmor) to match the detail given for Windows features.
- Add explicit Linux command-line examples for agent installation, service checks, and post-migration validation.
- Review all feature support tables to ensure Linux and Windows are treated with equal specificity and prominence.
