Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by consistently linking to Windows-specific documentation (e.g., '/azure/virtual-machines/windows/instance-metadata-service') and not mentioning Linux equivalents. There are no Linux-specific examples, links, or references, and the guidance on supported HTTP verbs and rate limiting refers only to Windows documentation. This may confuse or exclude users running Azure VMs on Linux.
Recommendations
- Include parallel links to Linux documentation (e.g., '/azure/virtual-machines/linux/instance-metadata-service') wherever Windows links are present.
- Add examples or references for retrieving IMDS metadata using Linux tools (such as curl or wget) and shell commands.
- Clarify that error codes and mitigation steps apply to both Windows and Linux VM environments, or specify any differences.
- Ensure that troubleshooting steps and sample requests/responses are platform-agnostic or provide both Windows and Linux variants.
