Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and PowerShell examples for all major operations, but PowerShell examples are consistently presented after Azure CLI, and not before. However, in the PowerShell examples, the Application Health extension is shown using the Windows extension type ('ApplicationHealthWindows'), while the CLI example uses 'ApplicationHealthLinux'. This could cause confusion for Linux users following the PowerShell path. There are no Linux/macOS-specific command-line gaps, and all features are accessible via cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API, Portal).
Recommendations
  • In PowerShell examples, clarify when to use 'ApplicationHealthWindows' vs. 'ApplicationHealthLinux' for the extension type, or provide both variants.
  • Add a note that Azure PowerShell is cross-platform, but that the extension type should match the VM OS.
  • Consider mentioning that Azure CLI is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and is recommended for Linux/macOS users.
  • Ensure that Linux-specific extension types are shown in PowerShell examples when the VM image is Linux.
