Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation generally provides both Windows and Linux examples for ARM/Bicep templates and application settings, often using tabbed sections. However, in several key sections, Windows examples are presented before Linux equivalents ("windows_first"), and PowerShell is the only scripting language shown for deployment automation ("powershell_heavy"). There are no CLI or Bash examples for Linux users in the deployment automation section. The documentation does not appear to omit Linux-specific information or tools, but the ordering and scripting language choices may give the impression of a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples in tabbed sections, or default to the user's platform when possible.
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI/Bash examples alongside PowerShell for deployment automation, especially in the 'Deploy your template' section.
  • In sections where both Windows and Linux are supported, clarify that both platforms are equally supported and highlight any differences up front.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform language (e.g., 'Azure CLI' instead of 'PowerShell') as the primary example, or provide both.
  • Ensure that all references to tools, commands, and scripts are available and demonstrated for both Windows and Linux environments.
