Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively guiding users to create a Windows Server virtual machine, with no mention of Linux alternatives. All VM creation steps, screenshots, and instructions are tailored for Windows Server, and there are no examples or guidance for deploying or accessing the function app from a Linux VM. This may lead Linux users to believe that only Windows is supported or recommended for this scenario.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows Server example.
  • Explicitly mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used for this scenario, and highlight any differences in setup or access.
  • Include a note or section on how to connect to and use a Linux VM via Azure Bastion, including SSH access instructions.
  • Where relevant, provide command-line examples (e.g., using curl or wget) for invoking the function from within a Linux VM.
  • Ensure that all steps referencing the VM (such as browser access or deployment) clarify that the process is similar for both Windows and Linux environments.
