Summary:
The documentation exclusively references PowerShell scripts and provides only PowerShell (.ps1) examples for automating VM migration. There is no mention of Bash, shell scripts, or cross-platform scripting alternatives, nor any guidance for Linux or macOS users. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric workflow, both in tool choice and script format.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, or clarify if the scripts are compatible with PowerShell Core on Linux.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility if the PowerShell scripts work with PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, and provide installation/setup guidance for those platforms.
- Include references to Azure CLI or REST API alternatives for users who prefer or require non-PowerShell automation.
- Reorder or supplement examples so that Linux and cross-platform options are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
- Add a section addressing common Linux automation patterns and how they can be used in conjunction with Azure Migrate.
