Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Hyper-V on Windows Server, and consistently references Windows-centric tools and workflows (e.g., VMM, PowerShell) without providing Linux equivalents or examples. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or considerations, and all automation and scripting references are to PowerShell. The documentation assumes the reader is operating in a Windows ecosystem, with no mention of Linux-based Hypervisors or management tools.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit statements clarifying that Azure Site Recovery for Hyper-V is only supported on Windows, and provide links to equivalent documentation for Linux-based disaster recovery scenarios (e.g., for KVM, VMware on Linux, or physical Linux servers).
- Where PowerShell is referenced for automation, provide equivalent Azure CLI or REST API examples that are cross-platform and can be run from Linux or macOS.
- If possible, mention or link to tools and workflows for managing disaster recovery for Linux VMs or workloads, including how to replicate and failover Linux VMs to Azure.
- Include a section addressing common questions or considerations for Linux administrators, such as supported guest OSes, agent installation on Linux VMs, and any differences in failover/failback processes.
- Ensure that any references to management tools (e.g., VMM, Hyper-V Manager) are accompanied by notes on their platform specificity and alternatives for non-Windows environments.
