Summary:
The documentation for Azure Migrate demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows Server, IIS, SCOM) are frequently mentioned, often without Linux equivalents or with Windows examples appearing first. PowerShell is referenced as the primary automation/scripting tool, and Windows-centric migration scenarios (e.g., ASP.NET on IIS, Windows OS upgrades) are highlighted more prominently than Linux scenarios. Linux support is mentioned, but often as an afterthought or in less detail, and Linux-specific tooling or automation examples are largely absent.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples alongside Windows examples, especially for automation (e.g., Bash scripts, Ansible, or shell commands for appliance setup and migration tasks).
- Mention Linux tools and workflows (e.g., systemd, SSH, Linux package managers) where relevant, not just PowerShell or Windows tools.
- Ensure Linux migration scenarios (e.g., Apache, NGINX, Tomcat, Java apps) are given equal prominence and detail as Windows/IIS/ASP.NET scenarios.
- When referencing automation or scripting, include both PowerShell and Bash (or other Linux scripting) examples.
- Highlight Linux-specific features or challenges (such as SELinux, sudo/root access, package dependencies) in migration guidance.
- Avoid always listing Windows/PowerShell options first; alternate the order or present both together.
- Add troubleshooting and best practices sections for Linux migrations, not just for Windows environments.
