Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

missing_linux_example

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using a Windows-based VM image ('Data Science Virtual Machine - Windows 2016 CSP') as the example, with no mention of Linux alternatives. The instructions focus on connecting via RDP (a Windows protocol) and do not provide any Linux VM creation or SSH connection examples. There is no mention of Linux tools, patterns, or parity in the workflow.
Recommendations:
- Include examples for creating Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows example.
- Demonstrate how to connect to Linux VMs using SSH, and provide relevant instructions for generating SSH keys and connecting from different platforms.
- Mention both RDP (for Windows) and SSH (for Linux) as connection options, and clarify which applies to which OS.
- Where possible, provide CLI or script-based examples (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash) that are cross-platform, not just portal-based workflows.
- Highlight the availability of both Windows and Linux VM images in the Azure Government marketplace.
