Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation provides both PowerShell and Azure CLI examples for all command-line operations, which is positive for cross-platform parity. However, PowerShell examples are consistently presented first, and the narrative often refers to 'PowerShell or CLI' (rather than 'CLI or PowerShell'), subtly prioritizing Windows-centric tooling. There are no explicit Linux-only examples or references to Linux-specific workflows, shells, or file system conventions. No Windows-only tools are used, but the ordering and language suggest a mild Windows/PowerShell bias.
Recommendations:
  • Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI examples throughout the documentation, or present CLI examples first in some sections to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Use more neutral phrasing such as 'Azure CLI or PowerShell' instead of always 'PowerShell or CLI'.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and consider adding a note or example showing CLI usage in a Linux shell (e.g., bash).
  • Where file paths are shown (e.g., './mainTemplate.json'), clarify that the syntax is compatible with both Windows and Linux/macOS, or provide both styles if relevant.
  • Consider including a brief section or note on cross-platform compatibility, especially for users on Linux or macOS.
