Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways: connection instructions to the VM are exclusively via RDP (a Windows protocol), and SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool) is used for database access. The instructions for accessing the VM and SQL Database are written with Windows users in mind, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., SSH for VM access, Azure Data Studio or sqlcmd for database access). PowerShell is presented as a primary deployment method alongside CLI, but Linux-specific shell examples are absent.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for connecting to the VM using SSH, which is standard for Linux VMs.
  • Include examples for accessing the SQL Database from Linux, such as using Azure Data Studio or sqlcmd.
  • Provide deployment and cleanup examples using Bash shell commands, not just PowerShell.
  • Mention cross-platform tools and clarify which steps are OS-specific.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Windows and Linux methods are presented together, rather than Windows-first.
