Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All setup, deployment, and configuration instructions are written for Windows Server and Hyper-V environments, with exclusive use of Windows tools (PowerShell, WinRM, Hyper-V Manager, Local Group Policy Editor) and commands. PowerShell scripts and commands are provided throughout, with no equivalent Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives. While Linux servers are mentioned as supported for discovery, there are no Linux-based examples or instructions for deploying or managing the Azure Migrate appliance, nor for preparing Linux-based Hyper-V hosts (if such exist). The documentation assumes the reader is operating entirely within a Windows ecosystem.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions or references for deploying and managing the Azure Migrate appliance from a Linux or cross-platform environment, if supported.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) equivalents for PowerShell commands where applicable, or clarify if such operations are Windows-only.
  • Where Windows tools (e.g., Hyper-V Manager, Local Group Policy Editor) are referenced, note whether there are cross-platform or web-based alternatives, or explicitly state the requirement for Windows.
  • Add Linux-based examples for credential management, appliance configuration, and connectivity validation.
  • Clarify any limitations or requirements for Linux users, and provide guidance for mixed-OS environments.
