Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: examples and templates are primarily focused on ASP.NET and .NET (Windows-centric stacks), Web Deploy (a Windows-only deployment method) is featured with explicit instructions and troubleshooting, and the use of Windows agents is assumed or required for certain deployment scenarios. Linux-specific deployment methods or troubleshooting are not equivalently covered, and Linux is only mentioned in passing (e.g., 'webAppLinux' as an app type), without dedicated examples or guidance for common Linux workflows.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel Linux-focused examples for all deployment scenarios, especially for stacks commonly deployed on Linux (Node.js, Python, Java).
  • Include troubleshooting sections for Linux agents, not just Windows (e.g., what to do if a deployment fails on Ubuntu agents).
  • Clearly indicate when a feature or task is Windows-only and offer Linux alternatives where possible (e.g., use of ZIP Deploy or FTP for Linux).
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows options are given equal prominence, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
  • Add explicit examples of deploying to Linux App Service using Linux agents, including YAML snippets and agent pool configuration.
  • Where Windows tools (like Web Deploy) are discussed, provide equivalent Linux-native deployment methods and their configuration.
