Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
windows_first
Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all major operations (attach, detach, move VMs), but consistently includes PowerShell examples alongside CLI, and in some cases, PowerShell examples are shown after CLI but before portal instructions. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its inclusion may signal a Windows bias, especially since Bash or Linux shell scripting alternatives are not mentioned. However, Azure CLI is cross-platform and the CLI examples use Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu2204), indicating some Linux parity. There are no Windows-only tools or patterns, and the documentation does not exclusively mention Windows tools. The bias is minor and does not prevent Linux/macOS users from completing the tasks.
Recommendations
  • Consider explicitly mentioning that Azure CLI is cross-platform and preferred for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add brief notes or links for Linux/macOS users clarifying that Azure PowerShell is available on Linux, but Bash scripting is also possible with Azure CLI.
  • Ensure that CLI examples use both Linux and Windows VM images to show parity.
  • If possible, provide Bash shell scripting examples for common tasks, or clarify that Azure CLI commands can be run in Bash.
  • In troubleshooting sections, ensure links to migration guides (e.g., unmanaged to managed disks) include both Windows and Linux documentation.
