Summary
The documentation page demonstrates moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (SSMS, SSDT, SQL Server Profiler, SQL Server PowerShell) are listed prominently, and PowerShell scripting is called out as a manageability feature. Windows Authentication is explicitly listed as a supported security feature, while Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., Kerberos, local authentication) are not mentioned. There are no Linux/macOS-specific management tools or examples, and Windows-centric patterns (PowerShell, SSMS) are referenced before cross-platform alternatives like Azure Data Studio.
Recommendations
- Add explicit mention and examples of Linux/macOS management workflows, such as using Azure Data Studio, Azure CLI, or REST APIs.
- Clarify authentication options for non-Windows environments (e.g., Kerberos, certificate-based, or local authentication).
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for PowerShell scripting, such as Bash scripts or cross-platform automation tools.
- Reorder tool lists to present cross-platform options (Azure Data Studio, Azure CLI) before Windows-only tools.
- Note any limitations or differences for Linux/macOS users in relevant sections.
