Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation is mostly cross-platform, using Azure CLI and shell syntax compatible with Linux/macOS. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the 'Deploy a template' section, where the primary link for creating ARM templates refers to a Visual Studio Code tutorial with PowerShell tabs emphasized. This suggests Windows tooling and scripting as the default, potentially creating friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, the order of references and examples sometimes places Windows-centric tools or instructions before cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that linked tutorials (such as ARM template creation) include Bash/Linux tabs and examples alongside PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention that all CLI examples work on Linux/macOS terminals, and provide sample commands for those environments where relevant.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, Visual Studio Code with Windows-centric instructions) without also providing Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Where links or instructions default to Windows tooling, add parallel guidance for Linux/macOS users.
