Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively using a Windows VM template for the example, referencing RDP for VM verification (which is Windows-specific), and omitting any mention of Linux VM templates or SSH access. The deployment instructions do provide both Azure CLI (Bash) and PowerShell examples, but the core scenario is centered on Windows resources and tools, with no Linux equivalents or parity in the walkthrough.
Recommendations
  • Include a parallel example using a Linux VM template (e.g., 'Deploy a simple Linux VM') and provide the corresponding template URL.
  • Add instructions for verifying a Linux VM deployment using SSH, alongside the RDP instructions for Windows.
  • Mention both Windows and Linux VM scenarios in the introduction and throughout the tutorial, making it clear that ARM templates can deploy either.
  • Ensure that resource cleanup and verification steps are platform-neutral or provide both Windows and Linux options.
  • Consider alternating or randomizing the order of PowerShell and CLI examples, or presenting them side-by-side, to avoid implicit prioritization.
