Summary:
The documentation page provides detailed steps for migrating VMware servers to Azure using Private Link, but it implicitly assumes the Azure Migrate appliance is a Windows-based VM. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting steps. The only OS-specific mention is in the Azure Hybrid Benefit section, which refers to Windows Server. There are references to editing the 'hosts file' and running commands from 'the on-premises server hosting the Migrate appliance,' but no cross-platform (Linux) guidance is provided. No PowerShell or Windows tool commands are shown, but the lack of Linux parity is notable.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the Azure Migrate appliance can be deployed on Linux, and if so, provide Linux-specific setup and troubleshooting instructions.
- When referencing editing the hosts file or verifying DNS resolution, include both Windows and Linux command examples (e.g., 'notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts' vs. 'sudo nano /etc/hosts'; 'nslookup' or 'dig' on Linux).
- In sections discussing Azure Hybrid Benefit, clarify applicability for Linux VMs (e.g., mention Azure Hybrid Benefit is only for Windows Server, and note any Linux migration licensing considerations).
- Add troubleshooting steps and connectivity verification commands for both Windows and Linux environments.
- If the Azure Migrate appliance is Windows-only, state this clearly at the beginning of the documentation.
