Bias Analysis
Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation page consistently links to Windows-specific Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) documentation, both in error code explanations and in the 'Next steps' section. There are no references to Linux-specific documentation, nor are there examples or guidance for Linux users. This creates a Windows-first bias and leaves Linux users without clear parity or tailored troubleshooting information.
Recommendations
- Include links to Linux-specific IMDS documentation (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/instance-metadata-service) alongside or instead of Windows links.
- Ensure that mitigation steps and examples reference both Windows and Linux environments, or are platform-neutral.
- Add troubleshooting guidance and sample requests for Linux users, such as using curl or bash, in addition to any PowerShell or Windows examples.
- Review referenced articles (such as 'How to retrieve load balancer metadata') to confirm they provide Linux parity and update them if necessary.
