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 included and shown before Linux-native alternatives, and some steps (such as VM deallocation in the ARM template section) use PowerShell syntax exclusively, even though Linux users would use Bash or Azure CLI. The verification step mentions RDP (Windows) before SSH (Linux) throughout. All CLI examples use Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but PowerShell is given equal prominence, which may be less relevant for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Where PowerShell is used for generic Azure operations (e.g., deallocating VMs), provide equivalent Azure CLI or Bash examples, especially in sections like ARM template deployment.
  • When listing verification steps, alternate or parallelize RDP/SSH references, or mention SSH first in Linux-focused contexts.
  • Consider clarifying that PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users, and recommend Azure CLI/Bash for Linux/macOS users.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI references are not Windows-centric if possible.
