Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation consistently presents PowerShell (typically used on Windows) examples before Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples. File paths in PowerShell examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\Templates\azuredeploy.json), and there is no explicit mention or example of uploading templates from a Linux or macOS environment (e.g., using Unix-style paths). The Azure CLI section references Bash in Cloud Shell but does not provide parity for local Linux/macOS environments or address differences in shell syntax. There are no Linux-specific troubleshooting notes or examples.
Recommendations:
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or present Azure CLI (cross-platform) first.
  • In upload examples, provide both Windows (c:\...) and Linux/macOS (~/Templates/...) file path examples.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and provide any necessary syntax adjustments (e.g., for date/time formatting).
  • Add notes or tabs for Linux/macOS users where shell syntax or environment variables may differ.
  • In 'Next steps', include links to documentation for deploying templates using Azure CLI on Linux/macOS.
