Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation consistently provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for each query, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to CLI and is always included, which can be seen as a Windows bias. There are no Linux-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash scripts, curl, jq, etc.), nor any mention of Linux-native tools or patterns. The documentation assumes users will use either Azure CLI (cross-platform) or PowerShell (primarily Windows, though available on Linux), but does not address Linux-specific usage or troubleshooting. The order of examples is Azure CLI first, then PowerShell, which is neutral, but the inclusion of PowerShell throughout is a subtle Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-native shell examples (e.g., Bash scripts using az CLI, piping output to jq for JSON parsing).
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide usage notes for Linux environments.
  • Include troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues (e.g., az CLI installation, authentication, file permissions).
  • Consider adding examples using REST API with curl for advanced Linux users.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are optional and provide guidance for users who prefer Bash or other shells.
