Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation exclusively deploys Windows Server virtual machines in the example environment and only provides instructions for creating Azure Windows VMs. There are no examples or mentions of deploying Linux VMs, nor is there guidance for Linux-specific configuration or parity. This creates a bias toward Windows environments and may exclude users who wish to deploy Linux-based infrastructure.
Recommendations
  • Include examples for deploying Linux virtual machines (e.g., using azurerm_linux_virtual_machine).
  • Provide sample Terraform code for both Windows and Linux VM deployment, or offer a choice in the walkthrough.
  • Mention Linux VM options and any differences in configuration, such as SSH key setup versus password authentication.
  • Clarify that the firewall and network setup is OS-agnostic, and highlight how to adapt the steps for Linux users.
