Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. VM templates and sample values consistently use Windows-centric naming conventions (e.g., 'contoso-template-win22', 'Administrator' as the default username), and all examples assume a Windows guest OS. There are no Linux-specific examples, usernames, or template references, nor any mention of Linux guest customization or provisioning. This may unintentionally signal that Windows is the primary or only supported OS for these workflows.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux VM template examples alongside Windows ones (e.g., 'contoso-template-ubuntu22').
  • Provide sample variable values and code snippets using typical Linux usernames (e.g., 'ubuntu', 'root') and passwords.
  • Add notes or sections describing any Linux-specific configuration steps, such as SSH key injection, cloud-init usage, or differences in agent installation.
  • Clarify in the documentation that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported, and link to resources for Linux guest customization.
  • When listing templates or sample IDs, alternate between Windows and Linux examples to avoid implicit prioritization.
