Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias: the Azure Migrate appliance is required to run on Windows Server (no Linux option is mentioned), and all setup instructions (including running the installer script) are exclusively PowerShell-based. Windows roles and tools (IIS, Windows Activation Service, registry edits) are referenced without Linux equivalents. Linux instructions are limited to enabling SSH and root login, with no guidance on running the appliance or installer script on Linux. There are no Linux-based examples or parity in appliance deployment.
Recommendations
  • Provide instructions and support for deploying the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux-based hosts (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
  • Include Linux shell (bash) equivalents for all PowerShell commands and script execution steps.
  • Offer a Linux-compatible installer script or containerized appliance option.
  • Mention Linux alternatives for Windows-specific tools (e.g., IIS, registry edits) or clarify if they are not required on Linux.
  • Present examples for both Windows and Linux side-by-side, or alternate the order to avoid Windows-first bias.
