Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It repeatedly references Windows-centric tools such as SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) for connecting and managing SQL Managed Instances, without mentioning Linux-native alternatives. Examples and instructions for connecting to the SQL instance and verifying high availability status are provided using SSMS, a Windows-only tool, and no Linux equivalents (such as Azure Data Studio or sqlcmd) are suggested. The documentation also refers to connecting from SSMS before mentioning any cross-platform options, and does not provide explicit examples for Linux users. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples, but the overall pattern favors Windows tooling and omits Linux-native workflows.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and examples for connecting to SQL Managed Instance using cross-platform tools such as Azure Data Studio and sqlcmd.
- Explicitly mention Linux-compatible alternatives wherever SSMS is referenced, and provide equivalent command-line examples.
- Add a section or note highlighting how Linux users can perform all management and monitoring tasks without requiring Windows-only tools.
- Ensure that examples and tool recommendations are presented in a platform-neutral order, or with Linux-first parity.
- Where file paths or commands are given, clarify any platform-specific differences (e.g., path separators, file locations) for Linux environments.
