Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Windows tools and examples before Linux equivalents. For instance, when instructing users to check listening ports, the Windows command ('netstat -a') is mentioned first, and the Linux command ('netstat -l') is mentioned second. Additionally, the troubleshooting link for high CPU issues is specific to Azure Windows VMs, with no equivalent link or guidance for Linux VMs. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the ordering and omission of Linux-specific troubleshooting resources indicate a subtle bias.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows commands in parallel or alternate their order to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include troubleshooting links and guidance for both Windows and Linux VMs, such as a link to troubleshooting high CPU issues on Azure Linux VMs.
  • Ensure that examples and instructions are platform-neutral or provide equal detail for both operating systems.
  • Review other troubleshooting steps for OS-specific bias and add Linux equivalents where missing.
