Summary:
The documentation for the Azure Migrate appliance demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Deployment and management instructions almost exclusively reference PowerShell scripts and Windows tools (e.g., certificate manager, group policy editor, Windows Update). Troubleshooting and certificate management steps are described only for Windows environments, with screenshots and instructions specific to Windows UI. There are no Linux-specific deployment, management, or troubleshooting examples, and Linux tooling is not mentioned except in passing (credentials).
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux-based deployment instructions, including shell script alternatives to PowerShell where possible.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps for certificate management, such as using OpenSSL or Linux certificate stores.
- Add examples and screenshots for managing the appliance on Linux-based systems (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
- Clarify whether the appliance can be run on Linux hosts, and if not, explicitly state this limitation.
- When discussing credential types and agent support, include explicit instructions for Linux server discovery and management.
- Ensure that all UI and command-line instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux environments, or clearly indicate OS-specific requirements.
