Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific instructions and tools (e.g., registry edits, Windows Server 2016 appliance, Azure VM agent auto-installation on Windows but not Linux) are presented first or exclusively, while Linux instructions are minimal or secondary. PowerShell/Windows-centric patterns are assumed (e.g., VMware PowerCLI, registry changes), and Linux alternatives or detailed examples are often missing or less emphasized.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel, detailed Linux instructions and examples wherever Windows-specific steps are given (e.g., registry edits for Windows, provide equivalent Linux configuration steps).
- When describing the setup of the replication appliance, clarify if a Linux-based appliance is supported or provide guidance for Linux-based environments.
- For agent installation, include explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using SSH and package managers) alongside Windows instructions.
- When referencing tools like PowerCLI or Windows Server, mention Linux-compatible alternatives or clarify cross-platform support.
- In post-migration steps, give equal detail for Linux (e.g., how to install the Azure VM agent on Linux, how to remove Linux-specific tools).
- Avoid always listing Windows steps or tools first; alternate or group by OS to show parity.
- Ensure all troubleshooting and best practices sections include Linux-specific guidance, not just Windows.
