Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell and Windows-centric tools are referenced for appliance deployment and replication configuration, with no equivalent Linux CLI or automation examples. Windows requirements and instructions are often listed before Linux, and some sections (such as appliance OS requirements) assume or require Windows Server. There is a lack of Linux-native deployment or management options, and Linux guidance is less detailed or appears as an afterthought.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux CLI (e.g., Bash, shell script) examples for deploying and managing the Azure Migrate appliance, alongside or before PowerShell examples.
- Offer guidance for deploying the appliance from Linux workstations or automation pipelines, not just from Windows/PowerShell environments.
- Where possible, support and document Linux-based appliances or provide instructions for running the appliance on Linux VMs.
- Ensure that Linux requirements and instructions are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows, and avoid always listing Windows first.
- Include troubleshooting and preparation steps for Linux VMs that are as comprehensive as those for Windows (e.g., firewall, SSH, agent installation).
- Clarify any limitations or differences for Linux users up front, and provide workarounds or alternatives where Windows-only tooling is referenced.
