Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows and PowerShell. All command-line instructions use Azure PowerShell, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash alternatives. The virtual machine created is explicitly a Windows Server VM, and the connectivity test steps assume the use of Windows PowerShell and SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool). There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, nor are cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI or Data Studio) mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions using Azure CLI (az commands) and Bash for all resource creation steps.
- Include an example for creating a Linux VM and connecting from it, using native Linux tools (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio, or ODBC).
- When testing connectivity, show how to use nslookup or dig on Linux, and how to connect to SQL Server using cross-platform tools.
- Mention and link to cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio) as alternatives to SQL Server Management Studio.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools or workflows; present both Windows and Linux options side by side.
- Consider renaming the tutorial or clearly indicating its Windows focus if Linux parity is not intended.

Flagged Code Snippets
## Create private endpoint
In this section, you create the private endpoint and connection using:
* [New-AzPrivateLinkServiceConnection](/powershell/module/az.network/New-AzPrivateLinkServiceConnection)
* [New-AzPrivateEndpoint](/powershell/module/az.network/new-azprivateendpoint)
## Test connectivity to private endpoint
In this section, you use the virtual machine you created in the previous step to connect to the SQL server across the private endpoint.
1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
2. Select **Resource groups** in the left-hand navigation pane.
3. Select **CreateSQLEndpointTutorial-rg**.
4. Select **myVM**.
5. On the overview page for **myVM**, select **Connect** then **Bastion**.
6. Select the blue **Use Bastion** button.
7. Enter the username and password that you entered during the virtual machine creation.
8. Open Windows PowerShell on the server after you connect.
9. Enter `nslookup <sqlserver-name>.database.windows.net`. Replace **\<sqlserver-name>** with the name of the SQL server you created in the previous steps. You receive a message similar to what is displayed below:
