Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell and RDP-based instructions for connecting to the VM and SQL Database, with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform examples. The workflow assumes the use of Windows tools (RDP, PowerShell, SQL Server Management Studio) and omits guidance for Linux users (e.g., SSH, sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio). The order of examples and tool recommendations prioritize Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions for connecting to the VM (e.g., using SSH instead of RDP).
  • Provide examples for validating DNS and connecting to SQL Database using cross-platform tools such as sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio.
  • Present CLI and PowerShell deployment instructions in parallel, or default to CLI (which is cross-platform) before PowerShell.
  • Mention and link to Linux-compatible tools for database access and VM management.
  • Include notes or tabs for both Windows and Linux users throughout the quickstart, especially in sections involving remote access and command-line operations.
