Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation uses Azure CLI throughout, which is cross-platform, but all shell scripting examples use Bash syntax (e.g., $(date +%s), variable assignment with key_vault_name="...") without any mention of Windows-specific alternatives (such as PowerShell syntax). There is no explicit Windows bias in terms of prioritizing Windows tools or examples, but there is a lack of parity for Windows users, as PowerShell examples are not provided for commands involving shell scripting or variable assignment.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent PowerShell examples for all CLI commands that use Bash scripting, such as variable assignment and dynamic naming (e.g., using $key_vault_name = "key-vault-$(Get-Date -UFormat %s)").
  • Include a note or section indicating how to run these commands in PowerShell on Windows, especially for commands that use Bash-specific syntax.
  • Ensure that all CLI examples are presented in both Bash and PowerShell formats, or clarify that the examples are for Bash and provide links to PowerShell equivalents.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI works on both Windows and Linux, and provide guidance for users on each platform.
