-             Yes, but SSMS is currently a Windows-only tool. You must connect remotely from a Windows machine to use SSMS with Linux VMs running SQL Server. Locally on Linux, the new [mssql-conf](/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-configure-mssql-conf) tool can perform many administrative tasks. For a cross-platform database management tool, see [Azure Data Studio](/azure-data-studio/what-is-azure-data-studio).
