Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific protocols (TDS), linking to Windows Server documentation for TLS, and omitting Linux or cross-platform tooling and examples. There are no mentions of Linux-based client tools, nor are there instructions or references for managing Azure SQL security from non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Include examples and links for configuring secure connections from Linux-based clients (e.g., using sqlcmd, Azure CLI, or ODBC on Linux).
- Reference cross-platform tools and protocols, not just Windows-specific ones (e.g., mention that TDS is supported by various clients on different OSes).
- Provide parity in documentation links, such as linking to TLS documentation relevant for Linux and macOS users.
- Explicitly mention that management and security features are accessible from non-Windows environments, and provide guidance or examples for those scenarios.
