Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool must be installed and run on a Windows machine, with explicit requirements for Windows Server or Windows 10/11. All installation and operational instructions (including PowerShell commands and file paths) are Windows-centric, with no equivalent instructions or support for Linux or macOS environments. The use of PowerShell for installation, Windows-specific file paths for artifacts and logs, and the lack of Linux-native installation or usage examples further reinforce this bias. While the tool targets containerizing Java apps running on Linux servers, the management and orchestration are exclusively tied to Windows.
Recommendations:
- Provide a Linux-native version of the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool, or at least document how to run it on Linux (e.g., via Wine, Docker, or a cross-platform .NET runtime).
- Include installation and usage instructions for Linux and macOS environments, including shell (bash) equivalents for PowerShell commands.
- Document file paths and log locations for non-Windows systems, or clarify if the tool is Windows-only.
- If Windows is a hard requirement, clearly state this limitation at the top of the documentation and provide rationale and alternatives for Linux users.
- Consider offering a web-based or containerized version of the tool that can be run from any OS.
- Add troubleshooting and artifact download instructions for Linux environments if/when supported.
