Summary:
The documentation page describes the process of migrating servers to Azure using Private Link with agent-based replication. While it mentions migrating various types of servers (including VMware, Hyper-V, physical, AWS, and GCP VMs), it does not provide any explicit examples, commands, or instructions specific to Linux systems. The only OS-specific reference is to the Azure Hybrid Benefit, which is only applicable to Windows Server. There are no Linux-specific migration considerations, commands, or troubleshooting steps, and no mention of Linux authentication, service installation, or OS nuances. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows-centric environment.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit Linux migration examples, such as how to install and configure the Mobility Service on Linux servers.
- Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps (e.g., DNS resolution using dig/nslookup, editing /etc/hosts, systemd service management for the Mobility Service).
- Clarify any differences in agent installation, permissions, or prerequisites between Windows and Linux servers.
- Mention Linux-specific Azure Hybrid Benefit or licensing considerations, if any, or clarify that it is Windows-only.
- Add sample commands or scripts for both Windows (PowerShell/Command Prompt) and Linux (Bash/shell) environments where relevant.
- Ensure that references to OS-specific features (such as Windows Server licensing) are clearly marked as such, and provide equivalent Linux guidance where possible.
