Summary
The tutorial exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: the only VM example uses a Windows Server image, connectivity testing is performed exclusively via Windows PowerShell, and SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool) is the sole database client mentioned. There are no Linux VM examples, nor are cross-platform tools (like sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio) suggested for connectivity testing. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for all hands-on steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside the Windows VM example.
  • Include Linux shell commands (e.g., using bash and nslookup) for DNS testing.
  • Suggest and demonstrate cross-platform database clients such as Azure Data Studio or sqlcmd, with installation and usage instructions for both Windows and Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that the Azure CLI works on all major platforms and encourage users to follow steps on their preferred OS.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting differences or considerations for Linux users, especially for connectivity and tooling.
