Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows authentication is presented as a primary option alongside SQL authentication, with examples and property tables for both. Troubleshooting steps and configuration instructions rely heavily on Windows-specific tools such as SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, and Windows Firewall. All screenshots and UI references are Windows-centric. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions for managing Amazon RDS for SQL Server from non-Windows environments, nor are alternative tools (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure CLI, Linux firewall configuration) mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific instructions for connecting to Amazon RDS for SQL Server, including examples using sqlcmd, Azure CLI, or other cross-platform tools.
  • Provide troubleshooting steps for Linux environments, such as configuring firewalls (iptables, ufw) and enabling TCP/IP via command line or AWS Console.
  • Include notes on authentication options available on Linux/macOS, clarifying limitations and alternatives to Windows authentication.
  • Offer screenshots or walkthroughs for cross-platform tools and interfaces, not just Windows-only GUIs.
  • Explicitly state any platform limitations (e.g., Windows authentication only supported on Windows IR) and suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
