Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation covers both Windows and Linux VM images, but there are several signs of Windows bias. PowerShell examples and references are frequent and often shown alongside or before CLI equivalents. Windows-specific tools (Sysprep) are mentioned before Linux equivalents (waagent), and links to Windows upload instructions are listed before Linux. Some references and examples default to Windows terminology or patterns, even though the feature is cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux examples (Azure CLI, waagent, Linux upload instructions) are presented with equal prominence and order as Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Where PowerShell and CLI examples are shown, alternate their order or group them together to avoid always showing Windows first.
  • Add explicit Linux-focused sections or examples where only Windows/PowerShell is currently referenced.
  • Review links and references to ensure Linux documentation is as accessible as Windows documentation.
  • Where possible, use neutral language and avoid defaulting to Windows terminology when the feature is cross-platform.
