Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows VMs, explicitly stating applicability to both. However, there is a mild Windows bias in the ordering of connection instructions (RDP for Windows is mentioned before SSH for Linux), and PowerShell is used for ARM template deployment and VM deallocation/start examples, which may be less familiar or accessible to Linux/macOS users. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but PowerShell is referenced in several places without alternative Bash or shell scripting examples.
Recommendations
  • When showing connection instructions, alternate the order or explicitly show Linux-first examples in some sections (e.g., 'Verify that you can sign in to the VM by using SSH (for Linux VMs) or RDP (for Windows VMs)').
  • For ARM template deployment and VM management, provide equivalent Bash/Azure CLI scripts for Linux/macOS users alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Where PowerShell is used for deallocation/start, add Bash/Azure CLI alternatives, especially in the 'Template' tab.
  • Clarify that PowerShell examples are for users on Windows, and link to cross-platform CLI alternatives where possible.
