Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Hyper-V. All examples, instructions, and tooling references are Windows-centric, including use of Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell commands, and Windows-specific utilities like CertUtil and Local Group Policy Editor. Linux is only mentioned as a credential type, with no guidance or examples for Linux hosts or tools. This creates friction for users who may want to run the appliance or related tasks on Linux or macOS, or who need parity in cross-platform environments.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions for deploying and managing the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux hosts, if supported.
- Include hash verification examples using Linux tools (e.g., sha256sum, openssl) alongside CertUtil and Get-FileHash.
- Clarify whether the appliance can be run on non-Windows hypervisors or physical servers, and provide steps for those platforms.
- Add Linux/macOS alternatives for credential delegation and proxy configuration, if applicable.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and offer links to Linux/macOS documentation where relevant.
