Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and examples for connecting to the VM using RDP (a Windows protocol), opening PowerShell (a Windows shell), and using SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives mentioned for connecting to the VM, running DNS queries, or accessing the SQL database. The cleanup instructions also use a PowerShell cmdlet without providing an Azure CLI equivalent.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for connecting to the VM using SSH, which is standard on Linux and cross-platform environments.
  • Provide examples for running DNS queries using Linux tools such as 'dig' or 'nslookup' in a Bash shell.
  • Mention cross-platform database tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) for connecting to SQL Database from the VM.
  • Add Azure CLI commands for resource cleanup alongside the PowerShell example.
  • Explicitly state when steps are Windows-specific and offer equivalent Linux/macOS guidance where possible.
