Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell. All code examples use Azure PowerShell, and the tutorial assumes the use of Windows-based tools and workflows (e.g., Windows PowerShell, SQL Server Management Studio). There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux users, such as Bash/CLI commands, Linux VM creation, or alternative SQL clients. The VM creation steps specifically deploy a Windows Server image, and connectivity testing is performed using Windows PowerShell and SQL Server Management Studio, both Windows-centric tools.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel examples using Azure CLI (az) commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
- Include instructions for creating a Linux-based VM (e.g., Ubuntu) and show how to connect to Azure SQL using Linux tools such as sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio.
- When testing connectivity, demonstrate DNS resolution and SQL connectivity using Linux shell commands (e.g., nslookup, dig, sqlcmd) in addition to Windows PowerShell.
- Mention and link to cross-platform SQL client tools, such as Azure Data Studio, in addition to SQL Server Management Studio.
- Clearly indicate in the prerequisites and throughout the tutorial which steps are platform-specific, and provide alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
