Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the VM image in the scale set creation steps. There are no examples or instructions for deploying Linux-based VM scale sets, nor is there mention of Linux-specific considerations. All steps are portal-based, so no PowerShell or CLI bias is present, but the choice of Windows as the default image and lack of Linux parity is notable.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions or screenshots for creating a VM scale set using a popular Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows example.
  • Add a note clarifying that the process is identical for Linux VMs, or highlight any differences (e.g., SSH key setup vs. password).
  • Provide guidance on administrator account setup for Linux (e.g., SSH public key authentication).
  • Ensure that backend pool health probes and load balancing rules are described in a way that applies to both Windows and Linux workloads.
