Summary:
The documentation implicitly assumes the Azure Migrate appliance is a Windows-based VM, as seen in instructions like editing the 'hosts file' (a Windows convention) and referencing Windows Server and Software Assurance for Azure Hybrid Benefit. There are no explicit Linux-based examples or guidance for Linux-based appliances, and the only OS-specific benefit mentioned is for Windows Server. Additionally, the documentation refers to editing the DNS hosts file without clarifying Linux equivalents, and does not provide Linux command-line or configuration examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit instructions for both Windows and Linux-based Azure Migrate appliances, including how to edit the hosts file on Linux (e.g., /etc/hosts).
- Include examples or notes for Linux-based environments where relevant, such as DNS resolution and network validation commands (e.g., using 'nslookup', 'dig', or 'ping' on Linux).
- Clarify that the Azure Migrate appliance can be deployed on Linux, if supported, or state OS requirements explicitly.
- When discussing Azure Hybrid Benefit, mention Linux licensing or migration considerations, or clarify that the benefit is Windows-specific.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and validation steps for both Windows and Linux environments.
