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 example tooling: PowerShell examples are given alongside CLI and ARM template, but PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool and is presented before Linux-native alternatives. Additionally, in the portal instructions, RDP (Windows) is mentioned before SSH (Linux) when verifying VM access. There are no missing Linux examples, and Linux-specific validation (SBInfo tool) is called out in best practices.
Recommendations
  • Present SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows) access instructions in parallel or with equal prominence.
  • Clarify that PowerShell can be used cross-platform, or provide Bash scripting examples for Linux users where appropriate.
  • Consider listing CLI and template methods before PowerShell, as these are more platform-neutral.
  • Continue to highlight Linux-specific validation steps, as done with SBInfo.
