Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows VM sizes before Linux equivalents, linking to Windows VM sizing documentation first, and mentioning Windows binary availability for FIO before Linux. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples or Linux-specific guidance, and no example commands for either platform. The documentation also references Azure Monitor and REST API access in a platform-neutral way, but omits any Linux-specific monitoring or scripting examples.
Recommendations:
  • Present Linux and Windows VM sizing links in parallel or mention Linux first, as Linux is often the default for performance benchmarking.
  • Provide explicit example commands for both Linux (e.g., bash shell) and Windows (e.g., PowerShell or CMD) when discussing tools like FIO, SSB, or API usage.
  • Include Linux-specific guidance for installing and running benchmarking tools, such as package manager commands (e.g., apt-get install fio).
  • Highlight any differences or considerations for running benchmarks on Linux vs. Windows, such as filesystem or mount options.
  • Ensure that tool descriptions and recommendations do not prioritize Windows availability or usage unless there is a technical reason.
