Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing on deploying a Windows VM template, referencing only a Windows-based example from the Quickstart Templates, and instructing users to RDP into the VM (a Windows-specific remote access method). There is no mention of Linux VM templates or SSH access, and the walkthrough does not provide parity for Linux users. Additionally, the use of Visual Studio Code is platform-neutral, but the resource deployment scenario is Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Include a parallel example using a Linux VM template from the Azure Quickstart Templates repository, such as 'Deploy a simple Linux VM'.
- Demonstrate how to connect to a Linux VM using SSH, in addition to the RDP instructions for Windows VMs.
- Present both Windows and Linux template deployment scenarios side-by-side, or provide a clear choice at the start of the tutorial.
- When referencing remote access, mention both RDP (for Windows) and SSH (for Linux) to ensure inclusivity.
- Ensure that all code snippets and deployment steps are applicable to both Windows and Linux users, or clearly indicate which steps are platform-specific.
