Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell cmdlets as a primary troubleshooting interface and suggesting the use of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is a Windows-only tool, for connectivity checks. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples provided, and troubleshooting steps are described in a way that assumes Windows environments (e.g., 'create a new VM', 'install SSMS'). This may create friction for users on Linux or macOS platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide troubleshooting examples using Azure CLI and REST API, which are cross-platform.
  • Mention and demonstrate the use of Azure Data Studio as an alternative to SSMS for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include explicit instructions for performing connectivity checks and script testing on Linux/macOS VMs.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is available cross-platform, but provide equivalent Bash/CLI commands where possible.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting platform-agnostic approaches to common troubleshooting tasks.
