Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (SSMS, SQL Server Data Tools, SQL Server Profiler, SQL Server PowerShell) are listed prominently in the 'Tools' section, with no mention of Linux-native alternatives or cross-platform equivalents. PowerShell scripting support is highlighted in the manageability features, and Windows Authentication is listed as a supported security feature, while Linux authentication mechanisms are not discussed. The overall tooling and examples focus on traditional Windows-centric patterns and utilities, with little to no reference to Linux or open-source alternatives.
Recommendations
- Include examples and references for Linux-native tools (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio on Linux, or other CLI utilities).
- Mention and provide guidance for authentication mechanisms commonly used on Linux (e.g., Kerberos, certificate-based, or local accounts).
- Add parity for scripting support by referencing Bash, shell scripting, or Python-based automation alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify cross-platform compatibility for each tool, indicating which are available on Linux/macOS and how to install/use them.
- Provide links or documentation for managing SQL Managed Instance enabled by Azure Arc from Linux environments.
