Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server and related tools in requirements and examples. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Windows Firewall, RDP, .NET Framework) are mentioned explicitly and in detail, while Linux equivalents are either missing, less detailed, or only referenced generically. Instructions for post-migration connectivity are more comprehensive for Windows (with step-by-step firewall and RDP guidance), whereas Linux instructions are briefer and lack equivalent detail (e.g., no mention of SELinux, UFW/iptables, or SSH hardening). The documentation also lists Windows URLs and services (e.g., time.windows.com) before Linux-relevant alternatives, and does not provide Linux-specific troubleshooting or preparation steps.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, such as how to configure SSH, firewall (e.g., UFW, firewalld, iptables), and SELinux/AppArmor settings for migration.
- List Linux and Windows requirements in parallel, rather than always listing Windows first.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and preparation guidance, similar to the detailed steps given for Windows (e.g., integration services, SAN policy).
- Reference Linux time synchronization sources (e.g., ntp.ubuntu.com, pool.ntp.org) in addition to or instead of time.windows.com.
- Where Windows tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., .NET Framework, Windows Firewall), provide Linux equivalents or clarify when they are not required for Linux hosts.
- Ensure that all examples, especially for connectivity and post-migration steps, are equally detailed for both Windows and Linux VMs.
