Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias. The Azure Migrate appliance is required to run on Windows Server (2019/2022), with no mention of Linux as a host OS. All setup and installation instructions rely exclusively on PowerShell scripts and Windows tools (IIS, Windows Activation Service), with no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided. Examples and instructions for running the installer are Windows/PowerShell-only. Linux is only referenced as a target for discovery, not as a platform for hosting the appliance or running the installer.
Recommendations
  • Provide instructions and support for running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux hosts, or clarify if this is not possible.
  • Offer Linux shell script equivalents for the installer and configuration steps, or document a Linux-native installation path.
  • Include Linux-first or side-by-side examples for setup, not just PowerShell/Windows.
  • Document any limitations or rationale for Windows-only appliance hosting to help Linux users understand their options.
  • If Windows hosting is required, make this explicit in the prerequisites and suggest workarounds for Linux-only environments (e.g., using a Windows VM).
