Summary
The tutorial is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell usage. All code examples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, and the VM created for testing is explicitly a Windows Server instance. The connectivity test instructs users to use Windows PowerShell and SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool), with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives or CLI equivalents. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform instructions provided, making it difficult for Linux/macOS users to follow the tutorial without significant adaptation.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI (az) examples alongside PowerShell for all resource creation steps.
- Provide instructions for creating a Linux VM and connecting via SSH, including how to test DNS resolution and SQL connectivity using cross-platform tools (e.g., nslookup, sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio).
- Mention and demonstrate SQL Server Management Studio alternatives such as Azure Data Studio, which is cross-platform.
- Explicitly note which steps/tools are Windows-only and provide Linux/macOS equivalents where possible.
- Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform options are presented first or in parallel with Windows-specific instructions.
