Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation repeatedly lists 'PowerShell' before 'Azure CLI' when describing how to manage IP addresses, subnets, and virtual networks, suggesting a Windows-first approach. There are no explicit Linux command examples or references to Linux-native tools, despite the article targeting 'virtual-machines-linux'. The absence of Linux-specific instructions or parity in examples indicates a bias toward Windows tooling and patterns.
Recommendations
  • List Azure CLI before PowerShell when describing command-line options, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and more commonly used on Linux.
  • Provide explicit Azure CLI command examples for each operation (e.g., adding/removing subnets, virtual networks), especially since the target platform is Linux.
  • Include references to Linux-native tools or scripting approaches where relevant.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is available cross-platform, but highlight Azure CLI as the default for Linux environments.
  • Review and update documentation to ensure Linux users have clear, step-by-step instructions matching those provided for Windows/PowerShell.
