Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for obtaining access tokens and making REST API calls, but consistently presents Azure CLI (Linux-friendly) examples before PowerShell (Windows-centric) ones. However, PowerShell is a Windows-native tool, and its inclusion as a primary example (with detailed scripting) may indicate a slight Windows bias. Additionally, references to Visual Studio Code and Azure PowerShell for template deployment reinforce a Windows-oriented workflow, while Linux-native tools or editors are not mentioned. There are no missing Linux examples for the main REST/cURL flows, but the documentation could better highlight Linux parity and alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Continue to provide Azure CLI examples first, as it is cross-platform and Linux-friendly.
  • When referencing editors or tools (e.g., Visual Studio Code), mention that it is cross-platform, or suggest alternative Linux editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs, nano) for editing templates.
  • For PowerShell examples, clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux, or provide Bash script alternatives for more complex flows.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools or workflows (such as 'Azure PowerShell' or 'Visual Studio Code') without also mentioning Linux-compatible options.
  • Explicitly state that all REST/cURL examples are platform-agnostic and can be run on Linux, macOS, or Windows.

For the REST APIs, the value of `uri` can't be a local file or a file that is only available on your local network. Azure Resource Manager must access the template. Provide a URI value that is downloadable as HTTP or HTTPS. For more information, see [Deploy resources with Resource Manager templates and Azure PowerShell](../templates/deploy-powershell.md). ## Deploy a resource group and resources You can create a resource group and deploy resources to the group by using a template. For more information, see [Create resource group and deploy resources](../templates/deploy-to-subscription.md#resource-groups). ## Deploy resources to multiple subscriptions or resource groups Typically, you deploy all the resources in your template to a single resource group. However, there are scenarios where you want to deploy a set of resources together but place them in different resource groups or subscriptions. For more information, see [Deploy Azure resources to multiple subscriptions or resource groups](../templates/deploy-to-resource-group.md). ## Delete resources The following operation shows how to delete a storage account.
