Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific paths (e.g., %HOME%\site), using terminology and tools more familiar to Windows users (such as Kudu and PowerShell), and omitting Linux-specific examples or equivalents. The only explicit scripting example in 'Next steps' is for PowerShell, and there are no CLI/bash/Linux-native instructions or references to Linux file paths. Windows conventions and tools are mentioned before or instead of cross-platform or Linux alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Include Linux file path examples (e.g., $HOME/site or /home/site/wwwroot) alongside Windows paths.
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash script examples in addition to or before PowerShell examples, especially in 'Next steps' and automation sections.
  • Mention Kudu's cross-platform nature and clarify its usage for both Windows and Linux App Service plans.
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux-based App Service plans, including any differences in backup/restore, file access, and deployment.
  • Ensure references to tools and configuration (such as FTP, file system, and environment variables) are platform-neutral or provide both Windows and Linux instructions.
  • In all code or command snippets, offer both PowerShell and Bash/CLI equivalents.
