Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates subtle Windows bias by referencing the creation of VMs with a custom IIS extension installed in its 'Next steps' section. IIS is a Windows-specific web server, and there are no equivalent Linux examples (such as Apache or Nginx) provided. The documentation does not mention Linux tools or patterns, nor does it provide parity in examples for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include examples for Linux-based web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) alongside IIS when demonstrating load balancing scenarios.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Load Balancer supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and provide links to quickstarts or tutorials for both platforms.
  • When referencing extensions or application scenarios, offer both Windows and Linux options to ensure cross-platform parity.
  • Review and update documentation to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tools or patterns, especially in introductory or 'getting started' sections.
