Summary
The documentation provides PowerShell script examples and references for checking and completing SQL IaaS Agent extension registration, but does not mention or provide equivalent CLI, Bash, or Linux/macOS-specific instructions. The registration process is described primarily through Azure portal steps and PowerShell automation, with no discussion of cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may prefer or require non-PowerShell tooling.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for checking registration status and enabling SQL IaaS Agent extension registration, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly state whether PowerShell Core (pwsh) is supported for the provided scripts, and clarify any Windows-only requirements.
  • Provide Bash script or REST API examples for automation, or link to relevant cross-platform documentation.
  • Include a note on platform compatibility for the PowerShell scripts, and suggest alternatives for non-Windows environments.
