Summary
The tutorial is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, with all code examples using Azure PowerShell cmdlets and instructions for connecting to the VM and SQL Server using Windows tools (PowerShell, SQL Server Management Studio). There are no CLI/bash examples, nor any mention of Linux/macOS alternatives for VM creation, connectivity testing, or SQL client usage. The VM created is explicitly a Windows Server, and the connectivity test assumes Windows PowerShell and SSMS, which are not available on Linux/macOS.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all resource creation steps, which work cross-platform.
- Include instructions and examples for creating a Linux VM and connecting via SSH, in addition to the Windows VM/Bastion workflow.
- Offer alternative SQL client options (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) that are available on Linux/macOS, and show how to use them to test connectivity.
- When showing connectivity tests, include bash commands (e.g., nslookup, dig) for DNS resolution, and clarify how Linux/macOS users can perform these steps.
- Explicitly note which steps are Windows-specific and provide parity guidance for Linux/macOS users.
