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 and tooling: PowerShell examples are given equal prominence as CLI, and in some sections (e.g., ARM template deployment and VM deallocation), PowerShell is used as the default scripting language, which is more native to Windows. Additionally, in step-by-step instructions, RDP (Windows) is mentioned before SSH (Linux), and screenshots are Windows-centric. There are no missing Linux examples, and Linux-specific considerations (such as Secure Boot validation with SBInfo) are included.
Recommendations
  • Where scripting is required (e.g., deallocation, template deployment), provide both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI examples, or clarify that PowerShell can be used cross-platform.
  • Alternate the order of RDP/SSH mentions, or mention SSH first when discussing Linux VMs.
  • Include screenshots from both Windows and Linux VM contexts, or use more generic images.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell can be used on Linux/macOS, or recommend Bash/CLI alternatives for Linux users.
  • Where possible, clarify that all steps apply equally to Linux and Windows VMs, and highlight any OS-specific caveats.
