Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows/PowerShell-based instructions and examples for setting up and verifying the Azure Migrate appliance. All command-line examples use Windows tools (e.g., CertUtil), and the installer script is run via PowerShell with Windows-style paths. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or guidance for users deploying the appliance on Linux servers, nor are Linux verification or scripting methods mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions and examples for Linux environments, including how to verify file hashes using common Linux tools (e.g., sha256sum, md5sum).
- Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance can be hosted on Linux, and if so, include Linux-specific setup steps and script execution instructions (e.g., bash commands).
- If the appliance is Windows-only, state this explicitly early in the documentation to set expectations for Linux users.
- When referencing command-line instructions, offer both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (bash) equivalents where possible.
- Include troubleshooting and log file locations for Linux, if supported.
- Review screenshots and UI references to ensure they are not exclusively Windows-centric if the product supports Linux.
