Summary
The documentation page lists Azure RBAC permissions for migration-related resource providers. While the content is mostly platform-neutral, there is evidence of Windows bias in the naming and focus of resource types and actions, especially in the 'Microsoft.OffAzure' provider, which heavily references Hyper-V (a Windows virtualization technology), IIS (Windows web server), and other Windows-centric concepts. These Windows technologies are mentioned explicitly and in detail, while Linux equivalents (such as KVM, Apache/Nginx, etc.) are not referenced. The ordering of providers also places Windows-centric tools (DataBox, DataBoxEdge, DataMigration, Migrate, OffAzure) before mentioning VMware, which is more cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Add explicit references to Linux migration scenarios and technologies (e.g., KVM, LXC, Apache, Nginx) where applicable.
- Include permissions and examples for Linux-based migration tools and resource types if supported.
- Ensure parity in documentation by listing Linux and open-source migration scenarios alongside Windows/Hyper-V/IIS examples.
- Consider reordering or grouping resource providers to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows technologies.
- Provide links or references to Linux migration documentation and best practices.
