Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows by only referencing the deployment and verification of IIS on Windows Server virtual machines, with no mention of Linux alternatives or examples. The verification step specifically instructs users to expect the default IIS Windows Server web page, and there are no instructions or examples for deploying or verifying a Linux-based web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx).
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux virtual machines, including instructions for configuring a common Linux web server such as Apache or Nginx.
  • In the verification section, include screenshots and steps for accessing the default web page on a Linux VM, not just IIS on Windows.
  • Explicitly mention that the ARM template can be customized for either Windows or Linux VMs, and link to relevant templates or documentation for Linux deployments.
  • Ensure that terminology and instructions do not assume a Windows environment; for example, refer to 'web server' generically rather than specifically referencing IIS unless both platforms are covered.
