Summary
The documentation page primarily references SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), a Windows-only tool, as the first example for connecting to SQL Managed Instance enabled by Azure Arc. While it also mentions sqlcmd, which is cross-platform, SSMS is presented as the default/favored option. The examples and instructions do not provide parity for Linux/macOS GUI tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio), nor do they mention Linux-native alternatives to SSMS. However, the sqlcmd example is shown for both Linux and Windows, and Azure CLI commands are cross-platform.
Recommendations
- Mention Azure Data Studio as a cross-platform GUI alternative to SSMS for Linux/macOS users.
- Provide explicit examples for connecting using Azure Data Studio or other Linux/macOS SQL clients.
- Clarify that sqlcmd is available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide installation instructions or links for non-Windows platforms.
- Consider listing cross-platform tools before Windows-only tools, or at least equally.
- Add a note about connecting from macOS/Linux environments, including any relevant firewall/network considerations.
