Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from specialized images. However, PowerShell examples are notably more detailed, including extensive networking and VM configuration steps, while CLI examples are more concise. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its prominence and depth in the documentation may create friction for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, in several sections, PowerShell examples are presented immediately after CLI, sometimes with more explanation and context, which could be perceived as Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
  • Expand Azure CLI examples to include more detailed steps, such as networking and VM configuration, to match the depth of PowerShell examples.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and encourage its use for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider providing Bash shell script examples for common tasks, especially for Linux users.
  • Ensure that CLI and PowerShell examples are equally detailed and placed in parallel, rather than PowerShell being more comprehensive.
  • Add a brief note clarifying that PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users, while CLI is suitable for all platforms.
