Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as a primary automation method alongside Azure CLI, with detailed instructions and references to installing PowerShell locally (a Windows-centric pattern). Customization options (such as naming instances) are described first for PowerShell, and users are directed to PowerShell or REST API for advanced tasks, even when Azure CLI is available. References to installing PowerShell locally and using PowerShell cmdlets are more prominent than equivalent Linux shell instructions. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific shell environments (bash, zsh), nor does it clarify cross-platform usage for CLI commands.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide examples of running CLI commands in bash/zsh on Linux and macOS.
  • Include instructions for installing and using Azure CLI on Linux and macOS, not just PowerShell.
  • When discussing advanced customization (e.g., naming instances), clarify if and how it can be done with Azure CLI, or provide parity in examples.
  • Avoid suggesting PowerShell as the only way to perform advanced tasks; highlight REST API and CLI alternatives where possible.
  • Add notes or examples for Linux users, such as using bash in Azure Cloud Shell or running CLI commands in local Linux environments.
  • Balance references to PowerShell and CLI, ensuring neither is presented as the default or preferred option unless technically justified.
