Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-only tools (SSDT, Visual Studio, Solution Explorer), Windows authentication, and Windows file system conventions (UNC paths). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided, and all instructions assume a Windows environment. No mention is made of running or developing SSIS packages from non-Windows platforms, nor are any Linux tools, shells, or workflows referenced.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state the platform requirements and limitations at the beginning of the documentation, clarifying that SSDT and Visual Studio are Windows-only tools.
- If possible, provide information or links about cross-platform alternatives for SSIS development and execution (such as Azure Data Factory UI, Azure CLI, or REST APIs) that can be used from Linux or macOS.
- Include a section addressing Linux/macOS users, outlining what is and is not possible from those platforms, and suggest workarounds (such as using remote Windows VMs or containers).
- Avoid assuming the user is on Windows in all examples and instructions; where appropriate, note that certain steps are Windows-specific.
- If any command-line or automation is discussed, provide PowerShell and Bash (or cross-platform CLI) equivalents where possible.
