Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the example VM OS, referencing RDP and PowerShell for management and testing, and omitting any Linux-based examples or instructions. All command-line and remote management examples use Windows tools (PowerShell, RDP), and there is no mention of Linux VMs, SSH, or Bash/CLI alternatives. This may make the documentation less accessible or relevant for users who primarily work with Linux environments.
Recommendations:
  • Include parallel instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows VM example.
  • Provide examples for connecting to the VM using SSH (for Linux) in addition to RDP (for Windows).
  • Show how to test DNS resolution from a Linux VM using Bash commands (e.g., ping, dig, nslookup) as well as from Windows/PowerShell.
  • Mention both PowerShell and Bash/CLI options for running remote commands, or reference the Azure CLI/Cloud Shell where appropriate.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows options are given equal prominence, or clearly indicate that both are supported.
