Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows Server is the only supported OS for running the Azure Migrate appliance, with explicit requirements for Windows Server 2019 or 2022. All setup and verification steps (e.g., running installer scripts, verifying file hashes) use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, CertUtil, Windows command prompt), with no mention of Linux equivalents or alternatives. The appliance installation process is entirely PowerShell-based, and there are no instructions or examples for deploying or running the appliance on Linux. While Linux server discovery is supported, the documentation assumes a Windows environment for all core setup tasks, and Linux examples are limited to configuring SSH for discovery, not for appliance deployment or management.
Recommendations:
- Provide instructions and supported options for running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux servers, or explicitly state if Linux is not supported.
- Include Linux-based examples for verifying downloaded files (e.g., using sha256sum or openssl) alongside CertUtil.
- Offer alternative installation and management steps using Bash or shell scripts if possible, or clarify the Windows-only nature of the appliance.
- Balance the order of presentation: mention Linux and Windows requirements together, and provide parallel examples for both platforms where applicable.
- If the appliance is Windows-only, clearly state this limitation early in the documentation and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux-centric environments.
