Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows authentication, Windows-style usernames (domain\username), and Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as SQL Server Management Studio and Windows Firewall). Troubleshooting steps and configuration instructions are written solely for Windows environments, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, such as using sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio, or Linux firewall configuration.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux authentication guidance, including examples for Kerberos or SQL authentication from Linux hosts.
  • Provide alternative instructions for connecting to Amazon RDS for SQL Server from Linux, such as using sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio.
  • Include Linux-based troubleshooting steps, such as configuring iptables or firewalld for port access.
  • Clarify that the instructions for tools like SQL Server Management Studio and Windows Firewall are Windows-specific, and suggest cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives.
  • When giving username examples, include both Windows (domain\username) and Linux/SQL (username@hostname or just username) formats.
  • Explicitly state any platform limitations or requirements, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation where possible.
