Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While most configuration steps are performed via the Azure portal or ADF UI (which are cross-platform), there are several references to Windows-centric tools and workflows, such as SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and PowerShell. SSMS is a Windows-only application, and PowerShell examples are referenced without Linux/macOS alternatives. Additionally, scripting and job management instructions are given using SSMS, with no mention of cross-platform SQL tools or alternatives. The documentation also lists PowerShell as the devlang and provides links to PowerShell-specific guides before any Linux/macOS equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions using cross-platform SQL tools such as Azure Data Studio or sqlcmd, especially for scripting jobs and running T-SQL commands.
  • Include examples for Azure CLI where PowerShell is referenced, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
  • Clarify that the Azure portal and ADF UI are accessible from any OS, and highlight any steps that require Windows-only tools.
  • Add notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to perform SSMS-related steps using alternative tools.
  • Reorder examples to present cross-platform or OS-neutral options first, before Windows-specific tools.
