Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples and troubleshooting steps are provided exclusively for Windows environments, using PowerShell, Command Prompt, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., services.msc, Net Start/Stop, editing C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). There are no Linux or cross-platform instructions, despite the fact that Azure Migrate appliances can be deployed on both Windows and Linux. Tools like azcopy and Service Bus Explorer are referenced only in the context of Windows usage, and even basic network troubleshooting (e.g., Test-NetConnection, nslookup) is shown only with Windows commands. This limits the documentation's usefulness for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line instructions for all PowerShell/Windows Command Prompt commands (e.g., use curl/nc/telnet for network tests, systemctl/service for service management, and editing /etc/hosts for host resolution).
  • Mention and demonstrate how to use azcopy and Service Bus Explorer on Linux, including installation and usage examples.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance is supported on Linux, and if so, include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps throughout.
  • When referencing file paths or system utilities, include both Windows and Linux equivalents (e.g., hosts file location, service management commands).
  • Avoid assuming the user is on Windows by default; structure instructions to present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side or in parallel sections.
