Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All deployment and hardening instructions are focused on Windows Server, with explicit references to PowerShell scripts, Windows security baselines, and Windows-specific tools (such as the Security Compliance Toolkit and DPAPI). There are no equivalent instructions, tools, or examples provided for deploying or securing the appliance on Linux systems, nor is there mention of Linux-based installation or hardening procedures. Even when Linux servers are referenced (e.g., port 22), the appliance itself is always assumed to be Windows-based.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit guidance for deploying and securing the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux-based systems, if supported.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash scripts) alongside PowerShell for installation and configuration.
- Reference Linux security hardening resources (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, SELinux, AppArmor) in the OS image hardening section.
- Describe how credentials are protected on Linux (e.g., using keyrings, encrypted files) if Linux appliances are supported.
- Ensure that all tooling and automation instructions are cross-platform or clearly indicate platform limitations.
- If the appliance is Windows-only, state this explicitly at the start of the documentation to set expectations.
