Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation is largely cross-platform, using Azure CLI and Bash-style scripting, which works on both Linux and Windows. However, there is a notable instance of Windows-first bias: the link to the ARM template Quickstart specifically references Visual Studio Code with a PowerShell tab, suggesting a Windows-centric workflow before any Linux alternative. No explicit Linux examples are missing, but the reference to PowerShell in the context of template creation may imply a preference for Windows tools.
Recommendations:
  • When referencing external guides (such as the Quickstart for ARM templates), ensure that Linux/bash instructions are mentioned alongside or before PowerShell/Windows instructions.
  • If linking to a guide with tabs for different platforms (e.g., PowerShell, Bash), default to the Bash or cross-platform tab, or mention both options explicitly.
  • Review all external links and ensure parity in instructions for Linux and Windows users.
  • Consider adding a note clarifying that all CLI examples are cross-platform and work on both Linux and Windows, to reinforce platform neutrality.

### Deploy a template The following script creates a Quickstart template to create a storage account. For more information, see [Quickstart: Create ARM templates with Visual Studio Code](../templates/quickstart-create-templates-use-visual-studio-code.md?tabs=PowerShell).
