Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows, such as PowerShell and Azure Portal, and referencing them before or instead of Linux alternatives. Examples and instructions for enabling managed identity and interacting with Azure SQL are primarily given for Azure Portal, PowerShell, and Azure CLI, but there is little to no mention of Linux-specific workflows, shell environments, or cross-platform SQL tools. The SQLCMD example is generic but does not clarify Linux compatibility or alternatives. There are no explicit Linux shell or scripting examples, and the documentation does not address platform-specific nuances for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell examples for all CLI commands, including environment variable usage and authentication nuances.
  • Mention and provide instructions for using cross-platform SQL tools (e.g., sqlcmd on Linux, Azure Data Studio) and clarify installation steps for Linux.
  • Ensure parity in instructions for enabling managed identity via CLI and PowerShell by providing equivalent bash and zsh examples.
  • Clarify that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and provide troubleshooting tips for common platform-specific issues.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments where appropriate.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell) before their cross-platform equivalents, or present them in parallel.
