Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell and Azure portal workflows before mentioning CLI alternatives, and by omitting explicit Linux/macOS examples for key steps (such as enabling managed identity or connecting to SQL). The SQL connection example uses sqlcmd, which is available cross-platform, but there is no mention of Linux-specific considerations or alternative tools. The documentation also refers to the Azure portal and PowerShell as primary methods, with Azure CLI as an alternative, which may not be as familiar or accessible to Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples for all steps, including enabling managed identity and connecting to SQL.
  • When listing methods (Azure portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI), avoid listing Windows-centric tools (PowerShell) before cross-platform options (CLI), or present all options equally.
  • Include notes or tips for Linux/macOS users, such as installation instructions for sqlcmd or alternative tools (e.g., mssql-cli).
  • Ensure that all screenshots and UI instructions are supplemented with CLI equivalents for users who do not use the Azure portal.
  • Review language to avoid implying that PowerShell or the Azure portal are the default or preferred options.
