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
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented around PowerShell and Windows tooling, even for Linux VM scenarios. All command-line examples (including those for Linux) use Azure PowerShell cmdlets and are shown in a Windows PowerShell prompt. There are no CLI/bash examples, and the instructions assume the use of a Windows client environment. The documentation also references Windows-specific file paths and screenshots, and Windows terminology is prevalent throughout.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Azure CLI (az) examples alongside or instead of PowerShell for Linux VM scenarios, using bash syntax and Linux file paths.
  • Show sample commands and outputs from a Linux shell (e.g., bash prompt), not just Windows PowerShell.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core can be used cross-platform, or explicitly support native Linux workflows.
  • Include screenshots and instructions relevant to Linux client environments where appropriate.
  • Avoid assuming the user is operating from a Windows machine; balance references to both Windows and Linux client environments.

--- ## Remove the extension ### [Windows](#tab/windows) To remove the password reset extension, run the following command:
--- ## Track deployment ### [Windows](#tab/windows) To check the deployment status of extensions for a given VM, run the following command:
You can see below that the extension has been installed successfully. ![Screenshot of the VM details pane with call-outs for the network interface and installed extensions on Windows.](media/azure-stack-edge-gpu-deploy-virtual-machine-install-password-reset-extension/installed-extension-windows-vm.png) ### [Linux](#tab/linux) To check the deployment status of extensions for a given VM, run the following command:
