Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively providing a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter example when creating a VM, with no mention or example of Linux-based images. There are no Linux-specific instructions, screenshots, or references to Linux VM setup, tools, or patterns. The tutorial implicitly assumes Windows as the default, which may discourage or confuse users seeking to deploy Linux VMs in DevTest Labs.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM creation examples alongside Windows examples, such as selecting Ubuntu or CentOS images.
  • Add screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux VM setup, including differences in username/password requirements and SSH key configuration.
  • Mention Linux-specific artifacts or post-deployment configuration options.
  • Clarify that DevTest Labs supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Ensure that references to OS images, tools, and patterns are presented in a platform-neutral or parallel manner (e.g., 'Choose a base: Windows Server or Ubuntu').
