Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell cmdlets as the primary CLI interface for troubleshooting, recommending the use of SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio, a Windows-only tool), and providing no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples. There are no mentions of Linux-native tools or instructions for users on non-Windows platforms, and the troubleshooting steps assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent troubleshooting steps using Azure CLI and/or Azure Cloud Shell, which are cross-platform.
  • Include examples using sqlcmd (available on both Windows and Linux) for connecting to SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance.
  • Mention and provide guidance for using Azure Data Studio, which is cross-platform, as an alternative to SSMS.
  • Clarify that custom setup scripts can be tested on both Windows and Linux, and provide example scripts for each.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows VMs; suggest using Linux VMs where appropriate and provide parity in instructions.
  • Explicitly state when a tool or step is Windows-only, and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
