Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all troubleshooting steps, command-line examples, and tool references assuming the Azure Migrate appliance is running on Windows. Only PowerShell, Windows command prompt, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., services.msc, MMC snap-in, Windows hosts file path) are mentioned. There are no examples or instructions for performing equivalent tasks on Linux-based appliances, nor is there any mention of Linux shell commands or tools. This creates a bias that may exclude users running the appliance on Linux or those more comfortable with Linux tooling.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) commands for all PowerShell and Windows command prompt examples, such as using 'curl', 'nc', or 'telnet' for connectivity tests.
- Include instructions for managing services on Linux (e.g., using 'systemctl' or 'service' commands) alongside Windows service management steps.
- Reference Linux file paths and hosts file locations (e.g., /etc/hosts) when discussing DNS resolution and static host entries.
- Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance is only supported on Windows, or if Linux-based appliances are also supported; if so, ensure parity in documentation.
- Mention cross-platform tools where possible, or provide links to platform-specific documentation for both Windows and Linux.
- Add screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments where applicable.
