Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric workloads (e.g., ASP.NET web apps, SQL Server), mentioning Windows environments (such as Hyper-V and VMware with Windows web apps) without equivalent Linux examples, and referencing tools and migration scenarios that are predominantly relevant to Windows or Microsoft technologies. There is a lack of explicit mention or examples for Linux workloads, Linux-based web apps, or open-source databases, and no Linux-specific migration guidance is provided.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit examples and scenarios for migrating Linux servers, Linux-based web applications, and open-source databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) to Azure.
- Add references to Linux tools and migration patterns, such as SSH-based discovery, Linux agent installation, and migration of workloads running on Apache, NGINX, or Tomcat.
- Ensure parity in documentation by providing step-by-step guides or links for both Windows and Linux environments in all relevant sections.
- Mention Linux support and compatibility in tool descriptions (e.g., clarify if Data Migration Assistant or App Service Migration Assistant supports Linux workloads).
- Highlight Linux-specific considerations, such as handling of file systems, package management, and service management during migration.
