Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: it provides detailed instructions for setting up the Azure Migrate appliance using a PowerShell script on Windows Server, but does not offer an equivalent Linux-based setup method. The installation path for required tools (e.g., VDDK) is specified using Windows file paths only. Windows authentication mechanisms and tools (such as PowerShell and Active Directory) are described in detail, while Linux alternatives are mentioned but not elaborated upon or exemplified. There are no Linux shell or command-line examples, and the documentation often lists Windows steps or tools before mentioning Linux support or alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide a Linux-based method for setting up the Azure Migrate appliance, such as a shell script or instructions for deploying on a Linux VM, alongside the PowerShell/Windows Server method.
- Include Linux file paths and installation instructions for required components like the VDDK, not just Windows paths.
- Offer Linux command-line examples (e.g., using SSH, scp, or Linux-based configuration steps) wherever Windows/PowerShell examples are given.
- Ensure that Linux authentication mechanisms (such as SSH key-based authentication) are described with equal detail and step-by-step guidance as Windows authentication.
- List Linux and Windows options together, or alternate which is presented first, to avoid always prioritizing Windows.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in feature support between Windows and Linux, and provide workarounds or alternatives where possible.
