Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments, with troubleshooting steps and commands almost exclusively referencing Windows tools (PowerShell, MMC snap-in, services.msc, Command Prompt), and providing examples only for Windows. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents for key operations such as service management, network connectivity checks, or file editing. This creates friction for users running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux or those who prefer cross-platform tooling.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell and Windows-specific commands (e.g., use systemctl/service for service management, curl/nc for network tests, and appropriate file paths for hosts file edits).
- Include CLI examples using Bash or cross-platform tools alongside PowerShell commands.
- Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance is Windows-only; if Linux is supported, ensure parity in instructions.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., azcopy, Service Bus Explorer) with installation and usage instructions for Linux/macOS.
- Avoid assuming remote desktop or Windows GUI access; offer alternatives for headless or non-Windows environments.
