Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux examples for most resource definitions and deployment scenarios, using tabbed sections for parity. However, Windows examples (especially Bicep/ARM template snippets) are consistently presented before Linux equivalents, and the PowerShell deployment instructions are given more prominence than Linux-native alternatives (such as Bash or Azure CLI). Some references and sample links default to Windows-based templates. There is no evidence of missing Linux examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the ordering and emphasis create a subtle Windows-first experience.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present Linux examples first in some sections to balance perception.
  • Provide Bash/Azure CLI deployment instructions with equal prominence to PowerShell, especially in the 'Deploy your template' section.
  • Ensure sample links and references include both Windows and Linux templates, or clarify when a template is OS-specific.
  • Add explicit notes when a feature or example is Windows-only or Linux-only, to avoid confusion.
  • Consider a summary table at the start showing OS parity for all major steps.
