Summary:
The documentation exclusively references the Windows-based 'WAImportExport.exe' tool, provides only Windows-style command-line examples (with Windows file paths and drive letters), and does not mention or provide instructions for Linux or cross-platform usage. There is no discussion of Linux equivalents, compatibility, or alternative tooling, and all examples and terminology are Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the Azure Import/Export Tool is available for Linux or cross-platform environments. If not, clarify this limitation early in the documentation.
- If a Linux version or alternative exists (such as a .NET Core or Python-based tool), provide equivalent Linux command-line examples, using Linux-style paths and conventions.
- If only Windows is supported, suggest workarounds for Linux users (e.g., using a Windows VM, Docker container, or Azure Cloud Shell).
- Avoid using 'Windows Azure' in tool/service names unless it is the official name; prefer 'Azure' for neutrality.
- Add a section addressing platform compatibility and any known issues or requirements for non-Windows users.
