Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for creating and updating scale sets with Availability Zones. However, PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to CLI, and in some sections (such as 'Update scale set to add availability zones'), PowerShell is listed before REST API and after CLI. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but PowerShell is Windows-centric. There are no explicit Linux-specific command-line examples (e.g., Bash scripts), and the documentation does not mention Linux tools or patterns. The Resource Manager template section references both Linux and Windows getting started articles, but overall, there is a slight bias towards Windows/PowerShell in example prominence and ordering.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Azure CLI examples are always presented before PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform.
  • Add explicit Bash shell script examples for Linux users where relevant.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and suitable for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider including a note or section highlighting Linux/macOS parity and recommending CLI for those platforms.
