Summary
The documentation for Azure Migrate exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows Server and Windows-centric migration scenarios are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, with several features and examples (such as PowerShell usage, Windows OS upgrades, and Windows-specific tools) highlighted before or in greater detail than their Linux equivalents. While Linux support is present and referenced (e.g., SSH authentication, Sudo support, RHEL/SLES migration), examples and tooling are often Windows-focused, and Linux-specific migration patterns or troubleshooting steps are less visible or detailed.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux migration scenarios are described with equal detail and prominence as Windows scenarios.
- Provide Linux-specific examples (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux CLI commands) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Highlight Linux tools and authentication methods (such as SSH, Sudo, root, setcap) in relevant sections, not just as alternatives.
- Add troubleshooting and migration guidance for common Linux distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, SLES, etc.) similar to Windows guidance.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally in feature announcements and examples.
