Summary
The documentation lists several Windows-centric tools (e.g., SSMS, SQL Server PowerShell, SQL Server Profiler) and highlights PowerShell scripting support as a manageability feature. While it does mention cross-platform tools like Azure CLI and Visual Studio Code, Windows tools are often listed first and in greater detail. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples or references to Linux-native management patterns, which may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples or references for managing SQL Managed Instance enabled by Azure Arc from Linux/macOS environments, such as using Azure CLI, sqlcmd, or cross-platform scripting.
  • List cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, VS Code) before Windows-only tools in tables and sections.
  • Clarify which tools are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, possibly with an OS compatibility column.
  • Provide links to documentation for Linux/macOS equivalents where available (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio).
