Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows tools and terminology (such as Windows PowerShell) are mentioned first or exclusively in several places. For example, when describing how to use the Azure CLI, the documentation suggests opening 'Windows PowerShell' as the example console, even though Azure CLI is cross-platform. The PowerShell section is present and detailed, but there is no equivalent section for Bash or Linux shell scripting. The instructions and examples for command-line usage reference Windows environments before Linux or macOS, and do not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • When referencing the Azure CLI, suggest opening a 'terminal' or 'command prompt' generically, and provide examples for Bash or Linux/macOS terminals alongside Windows PowerShell.
  • Add a dedicated section for Bash/Linux shell scripting, including examples for common tasks such as authentication and diagnostic setting creation.
  • Avoid using 'Windows PowerShell' as the default example for cross-platform tools; use 'PowerShell' or 'terminal' and clarify platform compatibility.
  • Ensure that screenshots and instructions are platform-neutral or provide alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly mention that all CLI commands work on Linux/macOS and provide troubleshooting tips for those platforms if needed.
