Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates bias towards Windows by exclusively using Windows Server as the VM image in the scale set creation steps, with no mention or example of Linux-based images. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor is there guidance for users who may want to deploy Linux VMs in their scale set. The tutorial implicitly assumes a Windows environment, which may not reflect the diversity of Azure users and workloads.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and examples for creating a Virtual Machine Scale Set using a popular Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows example.
  • Include notes or sections highlighting any differences in configuration or management for Linux-based scale sets, such as SSH key authentication instead of passwords.
  • Ensure that all steps, including networking and load balancer configuration, are applicable to both Windows and Linux VM types, and clarify any OS-specific considerations.
  • Consider adding screenshots or references that show Linux options in the Azure portal where relevant.
