Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the backend VM example and providing only PowerShell commands (specifically for installing IIS) without any Linux/CLI alternatives. There are no examples or instructions for deploying a Linux VM, nor for installing a web server (like Nginx or Apache) on Linux, nor are Bash/Azure CLI commands provided for equivalent tasks. This may hinder Linux users or those preferring cross-platform solutions.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions for deploying a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) as a backend target, including relevant screenshots.
  • Include steps to install a web server (such as Nginx or Apache) on the Linux VM for testing, using Bash or Azure CLI commands.
  • Offer Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for tasks like installing extensions or managing resources.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend targets, and link to relevant documentation for both.
  • Where scripting is shown (e.g., installing IIS), provide equivalent Bash/CLI scripts for Linux.
  • Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples, or presenting them side-by-side, to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
