Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias. PowerShell examples and references to Visual Studio are present, and PowerShell is given as a first-class scripting option alongside Azure CLI. While the article uses platform pivots to separate Windows and Linux content, some sections (such as PowerShell commands and Visual Studio notes) are only present for Windows, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives. Additionally, the documentation sometimes presents Windows-specific tools and workflows (e.g., .csproj editing, Visual Studio dialogs) without Linux or cross-platform alternatives, and PowerShell is presented as a primary automation tool, which is less common on Linux.
Recommendations:
  • Where PowerShell examples are given, provide equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users.
  • When referencing Visual Studio or .csproj file edits, mention cross-platform alternatives such as Visual Studio Code or editing project files manually.
  • Ensure that all automation and scripting examples are available in both PowerShell and Bash/shell script formats, or clearly indicate which platforms each example applies to.
  • Where possible, avoid presenting Windows tools or workflows before Linux equivalents; instead, present both options together or in parallel.
  • Add more explicit guidance for Linux users in sections where only Windows-specific instructions or tools are currently described.

Flagged Code Snippets

Replace `<FUNCTION_APP>` with the name of your function app and `<RESOURCE_GROUP>` with the name of the resource group for your function app. Also, replace `<VERSION>` with the specific minor version you temporarily need to target. Choose **Open Cloud Shell** in the previous code example to run the command in [Azure Cloud Shell](../cloud-shell/overview.md). You can also run the [Azure CLI locally](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) to execute this command. When running locally, you must first run [`az login`](/cli/azure/reference-index#az-login) to sign in. ### [Azure PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell) Use this script to pin the Functions runtime:
