Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. In the VM-level monitoring section, Windows examples and screenshots are presented before Linux equivalents, and more detail is given for Windows (multiple screenshots, command prompt usage) compared to Linux (single command, fewer screenshots). In the CLI/PowerShell section, PowerShell screenshots and terminology are used for Azure CLI examples, potentially confusing Linux users and implying a preference for Windows tooling. There is no mention of Linux-specific Azure CLI usage or shell environments, and PowerShell is referenced repeatedly as the default scripting interface.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, or alternate which OS is shown first in each section.
  • Provide equivalent detail and screenshots for Linux commands (e.g., show both 'df' and 'lsblk' outputs, include multiple screenshots as for Windows).
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and show examples in both Bash (Linux/macOS) and PowerShell (Windows), with screenshots from both environments.
  • Avoid using PowerShell terminology or screenshots as the default for CLI usage; explicitly mention and illustrate Bash usage for Linux users.
  • Include notes or links for Linux users on how to install and use Azure CLI in their environment.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and FAQ sections by including Linux-specific guidance where relevant.
