Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. VM templates and example variable values consistently use Windows-centric names (e.g., 'contoso-template-win22', 'Administrator' as the default username), and there are no Linux-specific examples or references. All sample code and walkthroughs omit Linux VM scenarios, Linux usernames, or Linux template IDs, despite VMware vCenter supporting both Windows and Linux guests.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM examples alongside Windows examples in both Bicep and Terraform sections (e.g., show template IDs for Linux VMs, use 'ubuntu' or 'centos' in variable values).
  • Provide sample values for Linux admin usernames (e.g., 'azureuser', 'root') and passwords.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported and provide guidance for Linux-specific provisioning steps if any exist.
  • In best practices, add notes relevant to Linux VM management (e.g., SSH key usage, Linux guest agent installation).
  • Balance the documentation by alternating Windows and Linux references in variable names, template IDs, and walkthroughs.
