Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Windows authentication is presented as a primary option alongside SQL authentication, with examples and property tables. Troubleshooting steps and configuration instructions exclusively reference Windows tools (SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, Windows Firewall), and all links for further configuration point to Windows-specific documentation. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided for connection setup, authentication, or troubleshooting, nor are Linux command-line tools (such as sqlcmd) or Linux firewall configuration steps mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific examples for connecting to Amazon RDS for SQL Server, including authentication and connection string formats.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux environments, such as using sqlcmd, configuring firewalls with iptables or ufw, and setting up remote connections via Linux tools.
  • Reference cross-platform SQL Server management tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio) and provide instructions for both Windows and Linux.
  • Ensure that links to further documentation include Linux-relevant resources, not just Windows-specific ones.
  • Present Windows and Linux options in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
