Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: the replication appliance is described as a Windows Server 2016 VM, setup steps and screenshots are Windows-centric, and registry edits for push installation are only detailed for Windows. The installation and management of the Azure VM agent is automated for Windows but manual for Linux, and there are no concrete Linux command examples or detailed Linux-specific troubleshooting steps. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., registry edits, PowerCLI, Windows Server installation) are mentioned first and in more detail, while Linux equivalents are only briefly referenced.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel, step-by-step Linux examples for all major procedures, including Mobility service installation, agent management, and troubleshooting.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., SSH, sudo, package installation) where Windows registry or PowerShell commands are given.
- Clarify whether the replication appliance can run on Linux, and if not, state this explicitly and provide rationale.
- Offer Linux-specific troubleshooting guidance, such as common SELinux, firewall, or permissions issues.
- Ensure that post-migration steps (such as agent installation and removal) are equally detailed for Linux, including supported distributions and commands.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows instructions are presented together or in parallel sections, rather than Windows-first.
- Reference Linux documentation and tools (e.g., cloud-init, systemd services) where appropriate, not just Windows tools.
