Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, with all examples and instructions using Azure PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric tooling. The virtual machine created is explicitly a Windows Server VM, and the connectivity test is performed using Windows PowerShell and SQL Server Management Studio, both Windows-specific tools. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform SQL clients.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions and code samples using Azure CLI (az) for resource creation and management, which is cross-platform.
  • Provide examples for creating and connecting to a Linux VM, including instructions for installing and using cross-platform SQL clients (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio).
  • Include connectivity testing steps using Bash (e.g., nslookup, dig) and Linux/macOS terminal commands.
  • Clearly indicate which steps are Windows-specific and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider restructuring the tutorial so that Windows and Linux/macOS instructions are presented side-by-side or selectable via tabs.
