About This Page
This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.
Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only PowerShell deployment instructions and examples, with no equivalent Azure CLI or Bash examples for Linux/macOS users. The prerequisites specifically mention installing the Azure PowerShell module, and the deployment workflow is described exclusively in terms of PowerShell commands. Azure CLI and Bash are only mentioned in passing in the 'Next steps' section, not in the main deployment flow.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI and Bash examples for deploying the Bicep/ARM template, alongside the PowerShell example.
- In the prerequisites, mention both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI as options for users, with installation links for each.
- Present deployment instructions for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (Bash/CLI), or use a tabbed interface to allow users to select their preferred environment.
- Ensure that all steps, including tracking and restoring backups, have parity between PowerShell and CLI/Bash instructions.
- Avoid assuming the use of PowerShell or Windows-specific workflows as the default; instead, provide cross-platform guidance.
