Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is generally platform-neutral in its REST API focus, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Specifically, in several example responses (notably in the Cross Region Restore section), the 'osType' and 'OsType' fields are set to 'Windows', and VM size examples reference Windows-centric naming. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples, and no mention of Linux-specific considerations or sample payloads. No PowerShell or CLI examples are present, but the implicit assumption of Windows as the default OS in examples suggests a 'windows_first' approach.
Recommendations:
- Include example responses and request bodies that show both 'osType': 'Linux' and 'osType': 'Windows' to demonstrate parity.
- Explicitly mention that the APIs work for both Windows and Linux VMs, and note any differences if they exist.
- Where VM configuration or disk restore is discussed, provide examples or notes for restoring Linux VMs (e.g., handling of Linux-specific boot or disk configurations).
- If referencing VM sizes or storage types, include examples that are common for Linux workloads as well.
- Add a section or note on any Linux-specific restore considerations (e.g., file system compatibility, agent requirements, etc.).
