Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server virtual machines as backend examples and providing only PowerShell-based instructions for configuration (e.g., installing IIS). There are no Linux VM examples, nor are there Bash/Cloud Shell or Linux-native command alternatives. The use of Windows-specific tools (IIS, Add-WindowsFeature) and the absence of Linux equivalents further reinforce this bias.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating and configuring Linux virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu) as backend servers.
  • Provide Bash/Azure CLI examples for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs, alongside the PowerShell/IIS steps.
  • Mention both Windows and Linux options when describing backend pool targets, making it clear that either OS is supported.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer equivalent Azure CLI/Bash commands for cross-platform parity.
  • Add screenshots or code snippets that demonstrate the Linux workflow, not just Windows.
  • Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux VMs are supported as backend targets and provide links to relevant documentation for both.
