Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows VMs in terms of feature applicability and CLI/PowerShell/Portal/ARM template instructions. However, there is a mild Windows bias: PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, and PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool. In some sections, RDP (Windows) is mentioned before SSH (Linux) when verifying VM access. Additionally, the template deployment steps use PowerShell for ARM template deployment, without mentioning Bash or cross-platform alternatives. The documentation does mention Linux-specific validation (SBInfo tool), but overall, Windows tools and patterns are slightly prioritized.
Recommendations
  • In ARM template deployment sections, provide Bash/az CLI examples for deploying templates, not just PowerShell.
  • When listing access methods, alternate or list SSH (Linux) before RDP (Windows) in some places.
  • Explicitly mention that all CLI and template steps work on Linux/macOS, and provide sample commands for Bash where PowerShell is shown.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and recommend it as the default for Linux/macOS users.
