Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It provides deployment instructions for both Azure CLI and PowerShell, but when it comes to connecting to the VM and accessing the SQL Database, it exclusively describes Windows-centric workflows: connecting via RDP, using PowerShell, and installing SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). There are no instructions for Linux/macOS users (e.g., SSH access, using sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio), nor are alternative connection methods mentioned. Windows tools and patterns are presented exclusively and first, creating friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for connecting to the VM via SSH for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include examples of using sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio to connect to SQL Database from Linux/macOS.
  • Provide guidance on running equivalent DNS resolution commands (e.g., 'dig' or 'nslookup' in Linux/macOS terminals).
  • Present connection options for both RDP (Windows) and SSH (Linux/macOS) side-by-side.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to SSMS for database access.
