Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While Azure CLI (cross-platform) is used for most automation, critical database management steps reference Windows-centric tools like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and sqlcmd, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is featured for publishing and debugging, with Linux/macOS options (Git Bash, VS Code) mentioned but not prioritized. No explicit Linux/macOS database tooling examples are provided.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit instructions and examples for connecting to Azure SQL using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd on Linux/macOS, or VS Code SQL extensions).
  • When referencing SSMS, also mention Azure Data Studio or other cross-platform database clients.
  • Provide Linux/macOS command-line examples for database user management (e.g., using sqlcmd installed via Homebrew or apt).
  • Show publishing/deployment steps using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, VS Code) before or alongside Visual Studio instructions.
  • Clarify which steps are OS-agnostic and which require Windows, offering alternatives where possible.
