Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias: it requires the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool to be installed and run exclusively on a Windows machine, with explicit instructions for Windows Server and Windows 10. All installation and usage steps are Windows-centric, including PowerShell-based installation commands and references to Windows file paths for logs. There are no instructions or examples for running the tool from Linux or macOS environments, nor are there alternative CLI or cross-platform approaches provided. The documentation assumes the user's administrative environment is Windows, even though the applications being containerized are running on Linux servers.
Recommendations:
- Provide installation and usage instructions for Linux and macOS environments, or clearly state if the tool is Windows-only and explain the rationale.
- Offer cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Docker-based installer, CLI tools) for users who do not have access to a Windows machine.
- Include Linux shell (bash) equivalents for installation and management steps, not just PowerShell.
- Document any plans or limitations regarding cross-platform support for the App Containerization tool.
- If Windows is a hard requirement, highlight this early and suggest workarounds (e.g., using a Windows VM or cloud-hosted Windows environment) for Linux/macOS users.
