Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation consistently uses Windows Server as the example operating system for virtual machine creation, both in the Azure Portal and in CLI/PowerShell instructions. There are no examples or instructions for creating or managing Linux-based virtual machines, nor are there references to Linux-specific patterns or considerations. This creates a bias toward Windows environments and may hinder Linux users from following the documentation seamlessly.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for creating Linux virtual machines (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) in all sections where VM creation is demonstrated.
  • Include notes or guidance on Linux-specific considerations for NSG diagnostics and Bastion connections, such as SSH access and username conventions.
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux VM creation options are presented side-by-side or in a way that does not prioritize Windows over Linux.
  • Where output or configuration is shown, clarify any differences that may arise when using Linux VMs (e.g., default ports, authentication methods).
