Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Bash (Azure CLI) and PowerShell examples throughout, but PowerShell is given equal prominence and detail, which may indicate a Windows bias. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion alongside Bash in every example can be interpreted as catering to Windows users. Additionally, the use of Windows-specific tools (PowerShell cmdlets) and terminology (e.g., `$true/$false` for booleans) reinforces the Windows-first approach. There is no explicit Linux bias or missing Linux examples, but the parity between Bash and PowerShell may unintentionally prioritize Windows users, especially since PowerShell is less commonly used on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Bash examples are suitable for both Linux and macOS, and that PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users.
  • Consider making Bash/Azure CLI the default or first example, with PowerShell as an alternative, to reflect the broader cross-platform usage of Bash.
  • Add explicit notes or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as environment setup or differences in command syntax/output.
  • Where possible, use generic CLI commands (az) rather than platform-specific scripting (PowerShell), unless a feature is only available in PowerShell.
  • Review terminology and variable usage to ensure cross-platform clarity (e.g., avoid `$true/$false` in CLI examples).
