Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
missing_linux_example
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell command examples for enabling and disabling diagnostic logs (Top flows and Flow trace), with no equivalent Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native instructions. The only command-line tooling referenced is PowerShell, which is most commonly associated with Windows environments, and there is no mention of cross-platform or Linux-first alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for all PowerShell instructions, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed from Linux, macOS, or Windows, and clarify any platform-specific requirements.
  • Where possible, include Bash script examples alongside PowerShell, especially for enabling/disabling diagnostic settings.
  • Reference Azure Portal UI steps as an alternative for users who may not use PowerShell or CLI.
  • Add a note or table summarizing all available tooling (PowerShell, Azure CLI, REST API, Portal) for each operation, with links to relevant documentation.
