Summary
The documentation references SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) as the primary GUI tool for connecting, which is Windows-only, and mentions it before the cross-platform sqlcmd tool. However, the main CLI example for connecting uses sqlcmd, which is available on both Windows and Linux. There are no Linux-specific connection examples (e.g., using Azure Data Studio or other Linux-native tools), and SSMS is referenced as the default GUI option. The Azure CLI commands shown are cross-platform, but the documentation does not highlight Linux/macOS client options or workflows.
Recommendations
  • Mention Azure Data Studio as a cross-platform GUI alternative to SSMS for connecting to SQL Managed Instance.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS connection examples, including any prerequisites (e.g., installing sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio).
  • Clarify that SSMS is Windows-only and recommend cross-platform tools for non-Windows users.
  • Consider showing Linux/macOS examples first or alongside Windows examples to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
