Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Windows authentication is presented as a primary option alongside SQL authentication, with examples and property tables. Troubleshooting steps and configuration instructions exclusively reference Windows tools (SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, Windows Firewall), and all links for further configuration point to Windows-specific documentation. There are no Linux equivalents or examples provided for authentication, configuration, or troubleshooting, nor is there mention of Linux tools or patterns for managing Amazon RDS for SQL Server connections.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux authentication guidance, including Kerberos or other supported mechanisms, if available.
  • Provide troubleshooting and configuration steps using Linux tools (e.g., sqlcmd, firewall-cmd, ufw) and reference Linux-based documentation.
  • Include examples for connecting from Linux environments, such as using ODBC or JDBC drivers on Linux, and clarify any platform-specific requirements.
  • Mention cross-platform management options (e.g., Azure Data Studio, which runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS) as alternatives to Windows-only tools.
  • Clarify any limitations or differences when connecting from Linux hosts, especially for self-hosted integration runtime scenarios.
