Summary:
The documentation provides a generally cross-platform approach for Azure SQL Edge, with most local operations using Bash and Docker commands suitable for Linux environments. However, when demonstrating how to generate a SAS token for Azure Blob Storage, the only example provided is a PowerShell script using Azure PowerShell modules, which are primarily Windows-centric. There are no equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples for Linux or macOS users. Additionally, the documentation consistently refers to connecting via SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) before mentioning Azure Data Studio, which is more cross-platform, indicating a subtle 'windows_first' bias.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI scripts for generating SAS tokens and managing Azure Storage, ensuring Linux and macOS users can follow along without needing PowerShell.
- When listing tools for connecting to Azure SQL Edge, mention Azure Data Studio before SSMS or highlight its cross-platform nature.
- Where possible, ensure that all code examples and instructions are available in both Windows (PowerShell/SSMS) and Linux/macOS (Bash/Azure CLI/Azure Data Studio) formats.
- Add explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, especially in areas where the workflow differs from Windows.
