Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
windows_first
Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows VMs, but there is a mild Windows bias in the ordering and tooling. PowerShell examples are given equal prominence to Azure CLI, but PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool. In the ARM template section, PowerShell is used for deployment commands rather than CLI or cross-platform alternatives. Windows terminology (RDP) is mentioned before Linux (SSH) in verification steps. However, Linux-specific guidance (such as SBInfo for Secure Boot validation) is included, and all procedures are applicable to both OS types.
Recommendations
  • In ARM template deployment steps, provide Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell to ensure cross-platform usability.
  • Where possible, mention SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows) together or alternate their order to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Consider clarifying that PowerShell commands can be run on Linux/macOS via PowerShell Core, or provide CLI alternatives.
  • Continue to highlight Linux-specific tools and validation steps as done with SBInfo.
