Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a significant Windows bias. The Azure Migrate appliance is only described as running on Windows Server, with no mention of Linux as a supported OS for the appliance itself. All setup and verification steps (e.g., running PowerShell scripts, using CertUtil for hash verification, installing Windows roles like IIS and PowerShell ISE) are Windows-centric. There are no Linux equivalents or instructions for running the appliance or scripts on Linux. While Linux server discovery is supported, all operational and administrative examples and tooling are Windows-only.
Recommendations:
  • Provide explicit instructions for deploying and running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux-based EC2 instances, if supported.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) equivalents for all PowerShell and Windows command-line examples, such as verifying file hashes (e.g., using sha256sum).
  • Document Linux-native prerequisites and installation steps (e.g., required packages, services, and permissions) for the appliance, or clearly state if Linux is not supported as a host for the appliance.
  • If the appliance is Windows-only, clarify this early in the prerequisites and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux-only environments.
  • Ensure that all operational steps (such as extracting files, running scripts, and troubleshooting) have Linux equivalents or clear guidance for Linux administrators.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence where both are supported.
