Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation is intended for both Linux and Windows VMs, but consistently uses Windows-specific VM images (e.g., Win2016Datacenter) in all CLI and PowerShell examples, and does not provide equivalent Linux image examples. The Quickstart link in the portal section references creating a Windows VM, and Linux VM creation is not mentioned. This creates friction for Linux users, as they must adapt the examples themselves.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux VM image examples (e.g., UbuntuLTS) alongside Windows examples in all CLI and PowerShell code blocks.
  • Add a Quickstart link for creating a Linux VM in the portal section, or mention both Windows and Linux options.
  • Explicitly state that the steps apply to both Linux and Windows VMs, and show how to select a Linux image where relevant.
  • Where variables are set (e.g., $image), show both Windows and Linux values, or explain how to choose the appropriate image.
