Summary:
The documentation exclusively references SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), a Windows-only tool, and provides step-by-step instructions with screenshots for its use. There are no examples or guidance for connecting to Azure Government SQL Server from Linux or cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd, or other CLI tools). This creates a Windows-centric bias and excludes Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for connecting to Azure Government SQL Server using cross-platform tools such as Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd, or other CLI-based methods.
- Add Linux/macOS-specific examples and screenshots where applicable.
- Mention the availability of cross-platform alternatives to SSMS early in the documentation, and provide links to their documentation.
- Ensure that firewall rule setup and connection steps are described in a platform-agnostic way, or provide parallel instructions for non-Windows environments.
