Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias. The Azure Migrate appliance is described as requiring Windows Server 2019 or 2022, with no mention of Linux-based appliance deployment. All setup and installation steps rely on PowerShell scripts and Windows-specific tools (IIS, Windows Activation Service, registry edits), with no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided. Examples and instructions for running the installer are exclusively in PowerShell, and the appliance's file paths are Windows-style. Linux server discovery is supported, but only as a target for assessment, not as a platform for running the appliance. There are no Linux shell or cross-platform instructions for appliance setup.
Recommendations
- Provide instructions and support for deploying the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux servers, or clarify if this is not possible.
- Include Linux shell (bash) equivalents for installation, configuration, and troubleshooting steps.
- Offer cross-platform installer scripts or containerized appliance options (e.g., Docker) to enable Linux/macOS users to participate fully.
- Document Linux file paths and troubleshooting locations alongside Windows paths.
- Present Linux examples and instructions with equal prominence to Windows, not only as targets but also as possible hosts for the appliance.
