Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. Examples for connecting to the VM use RDP and PowerShell, both Windows-specific. The instructions for accessing the SQL Database from the VM assume the use of SQL Server Management Studio, a Windows-only tool, and do not provide Linux alternatives for connecting to the VM (e.g., SSH) or querying the database. Linux equivalents, such as SSH for VM access or sqlcmd for database interaction, are missing throughout the guide.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for connecting to the VM using SSH, which is standard on Linux.
  • Include examples for running nslookup or querying the SQL Database from a Linux VM, using native Linux tools (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio).
  • Mention and provide steps for installing and using cross-platform database clients.
  • Present CLI and PowerShell examples side-by-side, rather than listing PowerShell after CLI, to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Clarify that the VM can be deployed with either Windows or Linux OS, and provide guidance for both.
