Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ osplatform_windows_only
Summary:
The documentation page is generally neutral regarding platform-specific instructions, as it focuses on JSON schema and ARM template validation. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the examples: several JSON snippets specify "osPlatform": "Windows" without mentioning Linux or providing Linux examples. Controls such as Microsoft.Compute.CredentialsCombo, Microsoft.Compute.UserNameTextBox, and Microsoft.Compute.SizeSelector are shown only with Windows as the osPlatform. No Linux or cross-platform examples are provided, and there is no discussion of Linux-specific considerations or parity.
Recommendations:
  • Include examples where "osPlatform" is set to "Linux" or both "Windows" and "Linux" to demonstrate cross-platform support.
  • Add notes or examples that highlight any differences or considerations when targeting Linux VMs in createUiDefinition.json.
  • Where possible, provide parallel examples for both Windows and Linux, especially for controls like credentials, username, and VM size selectors.
  • Clarify in the documentation whether the test toolkit and controls are equally applicable to Linux, and if not, specify any limitations.
