Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for configuring custom metrics for rolling upgrades on Virtual Machine Scale Sets. However, there is a notable Windows bias: PowerShell examples are consistently presented alongside Azure CLI and Bash, and Windows-specific extension types (ApplicationHealthWindows) are referenced before Linux equivalents. In several code snippets and REST examples, Windows extension types are shown as the default, and PowerShell is given equal prominence to Bash, despite Bash being more universally available across platforms. The ordering of examples sometimes puts Windows/PowerShell first or equally, rather than prioritizing cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and cross-platform examples (Azure CLI, Bash) are presented before Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • In REST and JSON configuration samples, use ApplicationHealthLinux as the default type, or show both Linux and Windows variants.
  • Clarify in each example which OS the extension type applies to, and avoid defaulting to Windows unless the scenario is Windows-specific.
  • Where possible, add macOS-specific notes or highlight that Bash/CLI examples work on macOS.
  • Consider grouping Windows/PowerShell examples in a separate section or tab, after Linux/cross-platform examples.
