Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its VM creation and connectivity testing steps. It creates a Windows Server VM (Win2019Datacenter) and instructs users to use Windows PowerShell and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), both Windows-specific tools, for connectivity verification. No Linux VM option, Linux shell commands, or cross-platform SQL client alternatives are provided. This may hinder Linux/macOS users from following the tutorial seamlessly.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) and connecting via SSH.
  • Include Linux/macOS shell commands (e.g., nslookup, dig) for DNS verification.
  • Suggest cross-platform SQL clients (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) for database connectivity testing.
  • Explicitly mention that the VM image can be changed to a Linux distribution and provide example commands.
  • Clarify any platform-specific differences in Bastion usage or connectivity steps.
