Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively providing a Windows Server 2022 Datacenter image as the example for lab creation, without mentioning or providing Linux-based alternatives. There are no examples, screenshots, or instructions for selecting or configuring Linux VM images, nor any references to Linux-specific access patterns (e.g., SSH, Linux credentials). This may lead users to believe that Windows is the default or only supported option, even though Azure Lab Services supports Linux images.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and screenshots that use Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Windows examples.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux images are supported, and provide guidance on choosing between them.
  • Show how to configure Linux-specific settings, such as SSH key authentication and default usernames.
  • Add troubleshooting tips relevant to Linux VMs (e.g., SSH connection issues, Linux user management).
  • Ensure parity in instructions for both Windows and Linux environments, so users on either platform feel equally supported.
