Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively referencing Visual Studio Code and the Azure IoT Hub extension for device creation and message sending, without mentioning or providing alternatives for Linux users. There are no examples or instructions for using Linux-native tools (such as CLI, shell scripts, or open-source IoT utilities), nor is there guidance for performing these steps outside of the Visual Studio Code GUI, which is most commonly used on Windows. The documentation does not acknowledge Linux environments or provide parity in tooling or workflow.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and examples for using Azure CLI, PowerShell Core (cross-platform), or REST API to create devices and send messages, suitable for Linux and macOS users.
  • Mention and provide guidance for open-source IoT tools (e.g., iotedge, mosquitto_pub) that can interact with Azure IoT Hub from Linux.
  • Clarify that Visual Studio Code and its extensions are available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation instructions for those platforms.
  • Include screenshots or terminal examples from Linux environments to illustrate cross-platform compatibility.
  • Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on Linux, and highlight any differences or prerequisites for Linux users.
