Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

windows_tools
Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for configuring custom metrics for rolling upgrades on Virtual Machine Scale Sets, but there is a notable Windows bias. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Bash, and Windows-specific extension types (ApplicationHealthWindows) are shown before Linux equivalents (ApplicationHealthLinux) in several places. The PowerShell example is more detailed than the Bash example, and Windows tooling (PowerShell) is presented as a primary method alongside Azure CLI and REST, rather than as a secondary or alternative option. In extension configuration JSON, Windows extension types are listed first. However, Linux users can still complete all tasks, and CLI/Bash examples are present.
Recommendations
  • List Linux extension types (ApplicationHealthLinux) before Windows types (ApplicationHealthWindows) in JSON and REST examples, or show both explicitly.
  • Ensure Bash/Linux examples are as detailed and robust as PowerShell/Windows examples, especially for server setup and scripting.
  • Where both CLI and PowerShell examples are given, consider presenting CLI (cross-platform) first, then PowerShell (Windows-specific).
  • Clarify in extension configuration tables and examples that both Linux and Windows are supported, and provide explicit Linux-focused sample values.
  • Add troubleshooting steps or notes for Linux-specific issues if any exist.
