Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page shows mild Windows bias by exclusively recommending Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions for template validation, without mentioning alternative editors or tools commonly used on Linux. Additionally, when discussing template export, it lists Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI, which is more cross-platform, and does not provide explicit Linux shell examples or mention Linux-specific tools or workflows.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and recommendations for Linux-native tools and editors, such as Vim, Emacs, or JetBrains IDEs, and their relevant extensions for Bicep/ARM templates.
  • When listing export options, mention Azure CLI before Azure PowerShell, and clarify that Azure CLI is fully supported on Linux and macOS.
  • Provide explicit shell (bash/zsh) command examples for template validation and export, in addition to PowerShell.
  • Add notes or links for Linux users on installing and using VS Code extensions, or suggest alternative validation methods that do not require VS Code.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting steps by referencing cross-platform tools and avoiding Windows-centric language or ordering.
