Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate Appliance FAQ demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Deployment and management instructions are centered around PowerShell scripts, Windows-specific tools (e.g., certificate manager, group policy editor), and Windows file paths. Troubleshooting and update procedures reference Windows UI elements and workflows exclusively. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples provided for key operations, even though the appliance may run on physical or virtual servers that could be Linux-based.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions for deploying and managing the appliance, including shell script alternatives to PowerShell.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps for certificate management and MSI validation, such as using OpenSSL or Linux certificate stores.
- Add examples of file paths, commands, and UI navigation for Linux systems where applicable.
- Clarify OS requirements and support for the appliance, and explicitly state if Linux/macOS is unsupported for certain operations.
- Where PowerShell is required, note if PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported, and provide installation guidance for non-Windows systems.
