Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-based deployment options (such as source control, Local Git, and FTPS) are called out as 'Windows-only' in the technology availability table, while Linux equivalents are either less emphasized or described as limited. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Visual Studio, Kudu/SCM site) are mentioned first or in more detail, and some deployment methods (like source control and FTPS) are not available or are restricted on Linux. Linux-specific instructions are present but often secondary, and there are few Linux command-line or native tool examples.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples for each deployment method, especially where Windows is called out as the default or primary platform.
  • Where deployment technologies are Windows-only, offer clear Linux alternatives or workarounds, and link to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Include more explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, native Linux tools) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell/Visual Studio instructions.
  • Clarify any limitations or differences for Linux users up front, and avoid presenting Windows tools as the default unless truly universal.
  • Expand documentation on remote build and deployment for Linux, including troubleshooting and best practices.
  • Where possible, avoid using 'Windows-only' as a default and instead structure tables and sections to give Linux and Windows equal prominence.
