Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and tools (such as the MARS agent, AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep utility, and Azure PowerShell) are Windows-specific. There are no examples or guidance for Linux systems, nor is there mention of Linux compatibility or alternatives. The workflow assumes use of Windows-only tools and patterns, such as elevated command prompts, BitLocker, and Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the prerequisites and introduction whether Linux is supported or not. If not, provide a link to Linux-compatible workflows or alternatives.
- If Linux is supported, add parallel instructions and examples for Linux systems, including command-line equivalents (e.g., Bash scripts, az CLI usage) and supported disk encryption methods.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (such as mounting disks, using Linux-compatible browsers, or alternative disk preparation utilities) where appropriate.
- If the MARS agent and AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep utility are Windows-only, explicitly call this out and provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., using Azure Data Box or other supported methods).
- Avoid referencing Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, BitLocker, Internet Explorer) exclusively; when possible, provide cross-platform alternatives or note platform limitations.
