Summary
The documentation lists several Windows-centric tools (SSMS, SQL Server PowerShell, SQL Server Profiler) and features (Windows Authentication, PowerShell scripting support) without equivalent Linux/macOS alternatives or parity notes. PowerShell scripting support is highlighted in the manageability section, and Windows Authentication is listed as a supported feature, while Microsoft Entra authentication is marked as unsupported. The tools section prioritizes Windows tools, with only Azure Data Studio and Azure CLI being cross-platform. There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples or guidance.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives where available (e.g., Azure Data Studio, Azure CLI) and clarify which tools are Windows-only.
  • Add notes or links to Linux/macOS setup guides for SQL Managed Instance management.
  • Provide scripting examples using Bash/CLI alongside PowerShell where relevant.
  • Clarify authentication options for non-Windows environments, especially since Microsoft Entra authentication is not supported.
