Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively instructing users to create a Windows Server virtual machine, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives. All VM creation steps, screenshots, and references are for Windows Server, and there are no examples or guidance for users who prefer or require Linux VMs. This can create friction for Linux/macOS users who may want to use a Linux VM for testing or access.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux-based virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu Server) alongside the Windows Server steps.
  • Explicitly mention that either Windows or Linux VMs can be used for this scenario, and provide guidance for both.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'virtual machine') and avoid defaulting to Windows unless there is a technical requirement.
  • Add a note or section explaining any differences in accessing the function app from Linux vs. Windows VMs, if applicable.
