Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides command-line examples for Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell, with PowerShell examples given equal prominence to CLI. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion as a primary example (alongside CLI) can be seen as favoring Windows users. Additionally, in the feature comparison table, 'Platform support' lists 'Windows, Linux, Windows containers' for regional integration but only 'Windows' for gateway-based, which is accurate but may reinforce a Windows-centric view. No Linux-specific shell (e.g., Bash) or scripting examples are given, and there is no mention of Linux-native tools or patterns. The documentation does not provide Linux-first or Linux-specific guidance, and PowerShell is not as commonly used on Linux as on Windows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash shell examples (in addition to Azure CLI), showing commands as they would be run in a typical Linux environment.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run in Bash, Cloud Shell, or Windows Command Prompt.
  • Where PowerShell is shown, consider adding a note that PowerShell Core is available on Linux, or provide Bash alternatives for scripting scenarios.
  • In the prerequisites and migration steps, mention that all steps can be performed from Linux or macOS using Azure CLI.
  • Consider reordering examples to show Azure CLI (Bash) first, then PowerShell, to avoid a 'Windows first' impression.
