Summary
The documentation exhibits a subtle Windows bias, primarily by referencing Windows-specific quick start guides and documentation links before or instead of Linux equivalents. Although the main migration example uses a Linux source host, there is a lack of parity in providing Linux-focused Azure VM documentation or explicit Linux command-line examples for Azure VM preparation. The 'Next steps' and 'Implementation guide' sections link to Windows-centric Azure documentation, and there is no mention of Linux-specific Azure VM setup or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel links to both Windows and Linux Azure VM quick start guides in the 'Implementation guide' and 'Next steps' sections.
- Include explicit Linux command-line examples for common tasks (e.g., mounting disks, verifying device status) alongside any Windows or PowerShell equivalents.
- Reference Linux-specific Azure documentation (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-portal) wherever Windows documentation is mentioned.
- Clarify in prerequisites and steps that both Windows and Linux hosts are supported, and provide OS-specific guidance where relevant.
- Ensure screenshots and instructions are balanced between Windows and Linux environments, or clearly indicate when instructions are OS-agnostic.
