Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by primarily using a Windows 11 Pro image as the example for VM creation, mentioning PowerShell as the first automation option, and providing a PowerShell-only script for copying VMs into a lab. There are no explicit Linux VM examples, nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns highlighted. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or instructions for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux VM creation examples, such as using Ubuntu or CentOS images, alongside or before Windows examples.
  • Provide Linux shell (bash) equivalents for automation tasks, such as copying VMs into a lab, in addition to PowerShell scripts.
  • Mention Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, cloud-init) when discussing VM configuration and access.
  • Ensure that references to automation options (PowerShell, Azure CLI, ARM templates) are presented in a neutral order or with equal emphasis.
  • Add screenshots and walkthroughs using Linux VM images to demonstrate parity in the portal experience.
