Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows setup instructions and tooling (PowerShell, CertUtil, IIS, registry edits) are presented in greater detail and appear before Linux equivalents. The installer script and appliance setup are described almost exclusively in terms of Windows commands and tools, with no Linux-specific installation or verification examples. There is also a lack of parity in troubleshooting/logging guidance and command-line examples for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux instructions for downloading, verifying, and running the installer script (e.g., using wget/curl, sha256sum, bash).
- Include Linux-specific examples for verifying the hash of the installer (e.g., 'sha256sum AzureMigrateInstaller.zip').
- Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance can be installed on Linux, and if so, provide step-by-step Linux installation and configuration instructions.
- Offer troubleshooting and log file location guidance for Linux environments.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence, or group them under clear OS-specific headings.
- If the appliance is Windows-only, state this clearly at the outset and provide guidance for Linux server discovery from a Windows-based appliance.
