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
Summary:
The documentation focuses exclusively on Azure PowerShell for command-line instructions, with all examples and scripts using PowerShell cmdlets and syntax. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI), and the only command-line tooling discussed is PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments. This creates a bias toward Windows users and may hinder Linux users from following the instructions.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI (az) commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
  • Include Bash shell examples for Linux users, especially for scripting and environment setup.
  • Clarify that the Azure Cloud Shell supports both PowerShell and Bash, and show how to switch between them.
  • Mention any platform-specific considerations (e.g., file paths, prerequisites) for both Windows and Linux.
  • Ensure screenshots and sample outputs are not exclusively from Windows environments if the process is cross-platform.
