Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
windows_first
Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows VMs, including explicit statements that the feature applies to both. However, there is a mild Windows bias in the ordering and tooling: PowerShell examples are provided alongside CLI and ARM template, but PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool and its installation instructions link to Windows-specific pages. Additionally, in some sections, PowerShell is listed before CLI, and screenshots reference RDP (Windows) before SSH (Linux). The documentation does mention Linux-specific validation (SBInfo tool), but overall, Windows tools and patterns are slightly prioritized.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions or links for installing Azure PowerShell on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
  • Where possible, clarify that PowerShell can be used cross-platform, or highlight CLI as the preferred cross-platform tool.
  • Alternate the order of CLI and PowerShell sections, or list CLI first to emphasize cross-platform accessibility.
  • Ensure screenshots and example text reference SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows) equally, or alternate their order.
  • Consider adding Bash shell script examples for Linux users, if relevant.
