Bias Analysis

Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the VM image in the scale set creation steps, with no mention or example of Linux-based images or configuration differences. All instructions and screenshots are tailored to the Azure portal, but the only OS-specific detail is Windows, and there is no guidance for Linux administrators or parity in examples.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM image options (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in the scale set creation step, and show how to select them.
  • Add notes or examples highlighting any differences in network configuration or health probe setup for Linux VMs.
  • Provide parity in administrator account setup, mentioning SSH key authentication for Linux VMs.
  • Consider adding a section or sidebar for Linux-specific considerations when adding a load balancer to a scale set.
  • Ensure screenshots and instructions do not imply Windows is the default or only supported OS.
