About This Page

This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell commands and references connecting to the PowerShell interface, with no mention of Linux shells, CLI alternatives, or cross-platform tools. All examples, command syntax, and output are Windows/PowerShell-specific, and there are no instructions or guidance for users on Linux or macOS systems.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent command-line instructions using Azure CLI (az) where possible, which is cross-platform.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) examples for connecting to the device and managing VM sizes, if supported.
  • Clarify whether the operations can only be performed via PowerShell or if there are REST API/CLI alternatives, and document those for non-Windows users.
  • Add a section or note explicitly addressing Linux/macOS users, including any prerequisites or limitations.
  • If PowerShell Core (pwsh) is required and supported on Linux/macOS, mention this and provide installation guidance.
