🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Powershell Heavy Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The only disk unlocking tool mentioned is WAImportExport.exe, a Windows executable, with no Linux/macOS alternatives or instructions. The unlocking step is critical and lacks cross-platform guidance. PowerShell examples are provided in detail, and Windows-centric tools (BitLocker, WAImportExport.exe) are referenced exclusively. There are no Linux or macOS command-line examples for unlocking disks or handling BitLocker keys, and Windows tools are mentioned first or exclusively in key sections.
Recommendations
  • Provide clear instructions and examples for unlocking BitLocker-encrypted drives on Linux and macOS, using tools like dislocker or cryptsetup.
  • Explicitly mention and link to cross-platform alternatives for WAImportExport.exe, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Add Linux/macOS shell (bash) examples for relevant Azure CLI steps, especially for drive unlocking and log verification.
  • Indicate OS requirements and limitations for each tool, and suggest workarounds for non-Windows users.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI) are shown before or alongside Windows-specific tools.

Windows First Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All prerequisites, drive preparation steps, and tooling (WAImportExport, BitLocker, manage-bde, PowerShell) are Windows-only. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor are alternative tools or workflows mentioned. The documentation assumes the user has access to a Windows system and does not address cross-platform parity.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state Windows-only support in prerequisites and clarify if Linux/macOS are unsupported.
  • If possible, provide alternative instructions or tools for Linux/macOS users (e.g., BitLocker alternatives, NTFS formatting, drive encryption, WAImportExport compatibility).
  • Add a section addressing Linux/macOS users, including any limitations, workarounds, or future roadmap for cross-platform support.
  • If WAImportExport is Windows-only, suggest virtualization or cloud VM options for non-Windows users.
  • List drive preparation steps for Linux/macOS (if feasible), such as using cryptsetup for encryption, and clarify compatibility.
  • Ensure CLI examples (Azure CLI) are not dependent on Windows-only artifacts and clarify any OS dependencies.

Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All drive preparation steps require a Windows system and the use of the WAImportExport.exe tool, which is only available for Windows. The prerequisites explicitly require a Windows OS, and all examples for preparing disks, formatting, encryption, and running the import tool are Windows-centric (NTFS, BitLocker, cmd.exe commands). There are no instructions or alternatives for Linux or macOS users for the critical disk preparation steps. While Azure CLI and PowerShell examples are provided for job creation, the core data transfer workflow is inaccessible to non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state in the prerequisites that the disk preparation tool is Windows-only and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., recommend using a Windows VM or remote desktop if possible).
  • If feasible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the WAImportExport tool, or provide a Docker image or VM template for Linux/macOS users.
  • Provide explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users on how to access a Windows environment for disk preparation (e.g., Azure VM, local VM, cloud-hosted remote desktop).
  • Document any limitations or workarounds for Linux/macOS users, such as preparing disks on Windows and then connecting them to Linux for data copy, if supported.
  • Consider adding a FAQ or troubleshooting section for non-Windows users.

🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation for Azure Import/Export service demonstrates a strong Windows bias. The WAImportExport tool, which is essential for preparing and encrypting drives, is only available for 64-bit Windows operating systems. There are no Linux or macOS alternatives or examples provided, and BitLocker (a Windows-centric encryption technology) is required for drive encryption. This means Linux/macOS users cannot complete critical steps in the workflow using their native environments.
Recommendations
  • Develop and provide a cross-platform version of the WAImportExport tool, or offer equivalent functionality for Linux/macOS.
  • Document alternative workflows for Linux/macOS users, such as using open-source encryption tools compatible with Azure Import/Export requirements.
  • Clearly state the OS limitations at the beginning of the documentation and provide guidance for users on non-Windows platforms.
  • Include examples and instructions for Linux/macOS environments where possible, or link to third-party solutions.

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell and Windows-centric tools before mentioning cross-platform alternatives. For example, enabling soft-delete in Azure Key Vault is described first with PowerShell, and CLI is only mentioned secondarily. Troubleshooting steps reference PowerShell cmdlets (Undo Key vault key removal) without providing equivalent Bash/CLI commands. There are no explicit Linux or Bash examples, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside or before PowerShell instructions for all key management and recovery operations.
  • Reference cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API) equally or before Windows-specific tools.
  • Include troubleshooting steps using Azure CLI commands for key and vault recovery, not just PowerShell.
  • Add explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, clarifying that all operations can be performed from non-Windows platforms.
  • Ensure links to documentation cover both PowerShell and CLI workflows, and clarify parity between them.

  • If only Windows is supported, clarify this early in the documentation and suggest alternatives for Linux users (such as using a Windows VM or container).
  • Include parity in troubleshooting and hardware compatibility notes for Linux environments.

Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All prerequisites and drive preparation steps require a Windows system, BitLocker (Windows-only), and the WAImportExport tool (Windows executable). There are no instructions or examples for performing the import/export process from Linux or macOS systems. Command-line examples for drive preparation use Windows tools (manage-bde, PowerShell, Robocopy), and enabling long paths is discussed only for Windows clients. While Azure CLI and PowerShell examples are provided for job creation, the actual data preparation and disk encryption steps are exclusively Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state in the prerequisites whether Linux/macOS are supported or not, and if not, explain why.
  • If possible, provide alternative instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as using third-party disk encryption tools (e.g., VeraCrypt, LUKS) and compatible file systems.
  • Offer guidance on preparing disks and journal files from Linux, or explicitly mention the lack of support.
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for file copy operations (e.g., rsync, cp) and disk mounting.
  • Discuss long path limitations and solutions for Linux/macOS where relevant.
  • If the WAImportExport tool is Windows-only, suggest or develop a cross-platform version or wrapper.
