Summary
The documentation page demonstrates notable Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions for connecting to the VM via RDP (a Windows protocol), using PowerShell for DNS validation, and recommending SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool) for database access. There are no Linux/macOS alternatives or examples for connecting to the VM (e.g., SSH), querying DNS (e.g., dig or nslookup in Linux/macOS), or accessing the SQL database (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd, or other cross-platform tools). The cleanup step uses a PowerShell cmdlet without mentioning Azure CLI or other cross-platform options.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for connecting to the VM via SSH for Linux/macOS users, including how to retrieve SSH credentials and use the SSH client.
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for DNS resolution (e.g., using 'nslookup' or 'dig' in a Linux terminal).
  • Recommend cross-platform database clients such as Azure Data Studio or 'sqlcmd', and provide connection instructions for these tools.
  • Include Azure CLI commands for resource cleanup alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Clearly indicate which steps are Windows-specific and offer alternatives for other platforms.
