Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on migrating Hyper-V (a Windows-centric virtualization platform) VMs to Azure, with all examples, instructions, and tooling references specific to Windows environments. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and all operational steps assume the use of Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Hyper-V Replication provider, Recovery Services agent, Windows Server licensing). Linux environments, tools, or migration scenarios are not mentioned or addressed.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel documentation or references for migrating Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., KVM, Xen, or other hypervisors) to Azure using Private Link.
- Provide examples and instructions for agent installation, DNS configuration, and network validation on Linux systems.
- Mention and link to equivalent migration guides for VMware and Linux-based hypervisors, if available.
- Clarify in the introduction that this guide is specific to Hyper-V/Windows environments and direct users to Linux/VMware migration documentation as appropriate.
- Where possible, use cross-platform terminology and highlight any steps that are Windows-specific, offering Linux alternatives or noting limitations.
