Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first

Summary
The documentation consistently presents both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all tasks, but PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool and is shown alongside CLI in every section. There is a slight Windows bias in the order and prominence: PowerShell examples are always present, and in some sections, Windows/PowerShell tools are referenced first (e.g., in the introductory metadata and in the quickstart link for installing a certificate on a VM, which points to a Windows scenario). However, the Azure CLI examples (which are cross-platform and Linux-friendly) are always provided, and no critical steps are Windows-only.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI works on Linux/macOS and is recommended for cross-platform usage.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that Azure PowerShell is available on Linux/macOS, or provide Bash examples for common Linux shell environments.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific scenarios (e.g., VM WinRM/certificate install) before Linux equivalents, or provide parity by linking to Linux VM scenarios.
  • Consider showing Azure CLI examples first, or alternating order, to avoid subtle Windows-first bias.
