Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. While it covers both Azure CLI and PowerShell, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence, and some advanced/bulk operations are only possible in PowerShell or are not possible at all outside it. Several features (default documents, virtual directory mapping, handler mappings) are explicitly Windows-only, but this is not always clearly stated at the top of those sections. Examples for Linux-specific workflows or tools are minimal or absent, and Windows-specific paths and patterns (e.g., D:\home, site\wwwroot) are used throughout. The documentation often references Windows tools and patterns before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
  • Clearly indicate at the beginning of each section which features are Windows-only, and provide Linux alternatives or workarounds where possible.
  • Where PowerShell is used for advanced/bulk operations, provide equivalent Bash or cross-platform scripting examples, or state explicitly if not possible.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific paths (e.g., D:\home, site\wwwroot) in generic examples; provide Linux path equivalents or clarify when these are Windows-only.
  • For features not available on Linux (e.g., handler mappings, virtual directories), suggest alternative approaches for Linux users or link to relevant Linux/container documentation.
  • Ensure that Linux and container workflows are given equal prominence, not just mentioned in passing or as exceptions.
  • Where CLI commands have platform-specific caveats (e.g., quoting, escape characters), provide both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (Bash) examples.
