Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific migration scenarios (such as upgrading Windows Server OS during migration) are described in detail, including references to Windows-only tools (Custom Script Extension for Windows). Windows Server end-of-support is highlighted as a migration driver, and Windows licensing benefits (Azure Hybrid Benefit) are discussed before Linux equivalents. There are no explicit Linux migration or upgrade examples, nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns mentioned. Linux is referenced only briefly in the context of licensing/subscriptions, and there is no guidance for Linux OS upgrades or migration blockers unique to Linux workloads.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for migrating Linux servers, including common Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL).
- Include details on how to handle Linux-specific migration blockers, such as kernel compatibility, SELinux/AppArmor, and package management.
- Provide parity for OS upgrade scenarios, such as guidance or tooling for in-place or side-by-side Linux OS upgrades during migration.
- Mention Linux-specific Azure VM extensions and automation options, such as Custom Script Extension for Linux.
- Balance cost optimization guidance by discussing Linux licensing/subscription migration in equal detail to Windows.
- Ensure that migration prioritization tables and examples include Linux workloads and end-of-support Linux distributions.
