Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples throughout, but PowerShell examples are always given immediately after CLI, and often with equal prominence. There is a slight 'windows_first' bias in that PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool, though now cross-platform) is always paired with CLI, and never omitted or de-emphasized. However, all examples and explanations are clearly tailored for Linux VMs, and the CLI is always presented first. No Windows-only tools or patterns are mentioned, and Linux-specific tools (like waagent) are referenced. There are no missing Linux examples, and no Windows tools are prioritized over Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Consider explicitly noting that Azure PowerShell is cross-platform and can be used on Linux/macOS, to avoid confusion for Linux users.
  • Where possible, highlight Bash/CLI as the primary method for Linux users, and clarify PowerShell is optional.
  • Add brief guidance for users who may not have PowerShell installed on Linux, linking to installation instructions.
  • Ensure that CLI examples are always shown first (as is currently the case), and consider grouping PowerShell examples in a separate section for users who prefer it.
