Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: it provides explicit PowerShell-based setup instructions for the Azure Migrate appliance only for Windows Server (with no equivalent Linux-based script or VM option), references Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, Windows authentication, IIS) more frequently and in greater detail than their Linux counterparts, and often lists Windows procedures or requirements before Linux ones. While Linux is mentioned as supported, practical Linux setup examples and parity in tooling are lacking.
Recommendations
- Provide a Linux-based script or VM option for setting up the Azure Migrate appliance, or clarify if only OVA import is supported for Linux environments.
- Include explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using SSH, scp, or Linux-native automation) for appliance setup and configuration, not just PowerShell/Windows.
- Balance the order of presentation: when listing supported OSes, tools, or procedures, alternate or group Windows and Linux equally, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
- Offer detailed Linux authentication and troubleshooting guidance, similar to the depth provided for Windows (e.g., for SSH key setup, permissions, and validation).
- When referencing tools like VMware VDDK, clarify installation paths and procedures for both Windows and Linux hosts.
- Expand documentation on discovering and assessing Linux-specific workloads (e.g., Apache, Nginx, PostgreSQL) to match the detail given for Windows workloads (IIS, SQL Server).
