Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-related information and terminology. The 'cloudServiceConfiguration' section is exclusively Windows-focused, referencing only Windows Server OS families. The documentation provides more detail and explicit references for Windows (e.g., Windows Server versions, Windows-specific configuration), while Linux is only mentioned in passing (e.g., in a link to VM sizes and a note that 'windowsConfiguration' must not be set for Linux images). There are no Linux-specific configuration examples or details.
Recommendations
  • Add a dedicated section for Linux configuration, similar to the 'windowsConfiguration' section, describing relevant Linux settings (e.g., SSH configuration, user setup, extensions).
  • Provide explicit Linux OS family/version examples and references, not just Windows Server versions.
  • Ensure that Linux and Windows VM size links are presented together and with equal prominence.
  • Include example JSON snippets for both Windows and Linux pool configurations.
  • Clarify in the documentation when a property is Linux-specific, Windows-specific, or applicable to both, to avoid implicit Windows-first assumptions.
