Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a clear Windows bias: the VM is created with a Windows image (Win2019Datacenter) only, all connectivity and DNS verification steps use Windows PowerShell, and SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool) is the exclusive client for database connectivity. There are no examples or instructions for Linux VMs, Linux command-line tools, or cross-platform SQL clients. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and before any Linux equivalents (which are absent).
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside the Windows VM example.
  • Include Linux-based connectivity testing steps, such as using 'dig' or 'nslookup' in a Bash shell to verify DNS resolution.
  • Suggest cross-platform SQL clients (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd, DBeaver) and provide connection instructions for those tools.
  • Explicitly mention that the Azure CLI commands work on all platforms and clarify any OS-specific steps.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer equivalent Bash or shell commands for Linux users.
  • Add a section or callout for MacOS users, if relevant.
