Summary
The documentation assumes the use of Windows throughout: it creates a SQL Server VM using a Windows Server image, and the only client tool mentioned for connecting to SQL Server is SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is Windows-only. There are no instructions or examples for deploying a Linux-based SQL Server VM or for connecting from Linux/macOS clients (e.g., using sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio). This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who wish to follow the guide.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for deploying a SQL Server VM on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu) as an alternative to Windows Server.
  • Mention and provide examples for connecting to SQL Server using cross-platform tools such as sqlcmd (available on Linux/macOS) or Azure Data Studio.
  • Clarify that the steps are applicable regardless of the SQL Server OS, and highlight any differences if present.
  • Add screenshots or command-line examples for Linux/macOS where relevant, especially for the client connection step.
