Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all major operations (attach, detach, update VMSS membership), but consistently lists PowerShell examples after CLI and before any Linux-specific notes. The PowerShell examples use Windows-style syntax (backticks, parameter casing) and reference Windows-specific networking ports (e.g., 3389 for RDP). There are no explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash), but the Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and use a Linux-friendly example image (Ubuntu2204). However, the PowerShell examples may create a perception of Windows bias, especially for users unfamiliar with PowerShell or working on Linux/macOS.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and are the recommended cross-platform approach.
  • Consider adding explicit Bash examples or notes for Linux/macOS users, especially for scripting or automation.
  • In PowerShell examples, avoid referencing Windows-specific ports (like 3389) unless relevant to the scenario.
  • Add a short note at the top of the page indicating that both CLI and PowerShell are supported on all platforms, but PowerShell syntax shown is for Windows.
  • If possible, alternate the order of CLI and PowerShell examples, or group them under a 'Cross-platform' heading.
