Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All appliance installation and configuration instructions exclusively reference PowerShell, Windows file paths, and Windows administrative privileges. There are no examples or guidance for running the installer script on Linux or macOS hosts, nor any mention of Bash, shell, or cross-platform alternatives. The VDDK installation instructions also specify a Windows directory. This creates friction for users attempting to deploy the Azure Migrate appliance on non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions and examples for running the installer script on Linux (and macOS, if supported), including shell commands and file paths.
  • Clarify whether the appliance installer script is cross-platform or Windows-only; if cross-platform, document prerequisites and steps for Linux/macOS.
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for file extraction, script execution, and log file locations.
  • Mention any limitations or requirements for non-Windows environments early in the documentation.
  • If the appliance is Windows-only, state this clearly at the beginning and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
