Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific environments (e.g., App Service Environment v3 (Windows plans only)), authentication methods (Windows Authentication), and tools (on-premises data gateway, which is primarily a Windows service). There are no examples or explicit instructions for Linux-based environments, nor are Linux authentication or deployment scenarios discussed. The documentation assumes the use of the Azure portal and Visual Studio Code, but does not mention Linux-specific considerations or alternatives. Windows authentication is described in detail, but there is no mention of Kerberos or other Linux-compatible authentication methods. The 'on-premises data gateway' requirement for on-prem SQL is a Windows-only solution, with no Linux alternative or workaround provided.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit notes and examples for connecting from Linux-based environments, including any differences in connector support or authentication flows.
- Document alternatives to the on-premises data gateway for Linux (such as self-hosted integration runtimes or other cross-platform options, if available).
- If Windows Authentication is only supported via the data gateway (which is Windows-only), clarify this limitation and suggest Linux-compatible authentication methods (e.g., SQL Server Authentication, Azure AD authentication).
- Include sample connection strings and walkthroughs for Linux-based deployments (e.g., running Logic Apps Standard on Linux App Service plans, if supported).
- Review all tool and environment references to ensure Linux parity is addressed, or clearly state when features are Windows-only.
