Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server virtual machines as backend examples, providing only PowerShell commands (for IIS installation), and omitting any Linux VM or cross-platform CLI examples for backend setup and testing. The workflow for installing a web server and verifying the Application Gateway is entirely Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity in instructions.
Recommendations:
  • Include parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) as a backend server, alongside the Windows example.
  • Provide Linux-specific commands (such as using Azure CLI or SSH) to install a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) for testing, in addition to the PowerShell/IIS example.
  • Show both Windows and Linux options for backend pool configuration and testing, making it clear that Application Gateway supports both.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer equivalent Azure CLI/bash commands for Linux users.
  • Update screenshots and step-by-step instructions to reflect both Windows and Linux VM creation and configuration.
