Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by specifying that the Azure Migrate appliance must be deployed on a Windows server, with no mention of Linux support or alternatives. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or considerations, and Windows is the only platform discussed for the on-premises appliance. This may give the impression that Linux environments are not supported or are an afterthought.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the Azure Migrate appliance supports Linux hosts, and if not, clarify this limitation.
- If Linux support exists, provide parallel instructions for deploying the appliance on Linux servers, including prerequisites and setup steps.
- Include Linux-specific considerations or troubleshooting steps for heterogeneous environments.
- When mentioning deployment requirements, list both Windows and Linux options (if available), or clearly explain the rationale for Windows-only support.
- Add examples or references for assessing Linux physical servers, including any differences in process or requirements.
