Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides parity between Azure Portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, and ARM template examples for all major tasks. However, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, PowerShell examples are sometimes presented before ARM templates, and the documentation references PowerShell modules and commands without noting cross-platform alternatives or limitations. There is no explicit mention of Windows-only tools, but the presence and prominence of PowerShell can be considered a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure PowerShell is available cross-platform via PowerShell Core, or recommend using Azure CLI for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, add notes about installation and usage on non-Windows platforms.
  • Consider listing Azure CLI examples before PowerShell, as CLI is natively cross-platform.
  • Add explicit statements that all shown commands (CLI, PowerShell, ARM) work on Linux/macOS unless otherwise noted.
  • Provide links or brief instructions for installing Azure CLI and PowerShell on Linux/macOS.
