Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. Examples for enabling Microsoft Entra authentication reference PowerShell and Azure CLI, but the PowerShell option is mentioned before CLI, and no explicit Linux shell examples are provided. The SQL access step uses sqlcmd in Cloud Shell, which is cross-platform, but there are no examples for native Linux SQL tools (e.g., mssql-cli, isql, or ODBC). The instructions for enabling managed identity focus on the Azure Portal and PowerShell, with CLI as a secondary option. There is no mention of Linux-specific patterns, nor are Linux command-line examples or troubleshooting tips included.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux shell examples for all command-line instructions, including Azure CLI and SQL access.
  • Mention and demonstrate alternative SQL tools available on Linux (e.g., mssql-cli, isql) for connecting to Azure SQL.
  • Ensure Azure CLI instructions are presented before or alongside PowerShell instructions to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or tips for Linux environments, such as package installation or authentication differences.
  • Clarify that all CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide platform-agnostic guidance where possible.
