Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In the 'Install the VM agent' section, instructions for Windows appear first and are more detailed, including links to MSI installers and explicit file paths. The Linux instructions are less detailed and refer to distribution repositories, with a secondary mention of GitHub. The initial VM creation link points to a Windows-specific quickstart, and there is no mention of Linux VM creation or parity in portal operations. No PowerShell or CLI examples are present, and most steps are portal-based and OS-agnostic, but where OS-specific details are given, Windows is prioritized.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions in the VM agent installation section.
- Provide a link to the Linux VM creation quickstart in the introduction, alongside the Windows VM creation link.
- Expand Linux agent installation details, including example commands for RPM/DEB installation and verification steps.
- Ensure that screenshots and examples do not implicitly assume Windows VMs; clarify when steps apply equally to Linux VMs.
- Add a note on any OS-specific backup considerations, such as application consistency or agent limitations, for both Windows and Linux.
