Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation generally maintains OS neutrality by focusing on Azure Portal workflows, which are cross-platform. However, in the 'Install the VM agent' section, instructions for Windows appear first, with more detailed, step-by-step guidance and direct download links, while Linux instructions are less detailed and refer to external package repositories. This ordering and level of detail may subtly prioritize Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel columns or sections, ensuring equal prominence and detail for both.
  • Provide direct step-by-step Linux installation commands (e.g., using apt, yum, or zypper) for the Azure Linux agent, similar to the explicit steps given for Windows.
  • Include verification steps for Linux agent installation (e.g., checking agent version, service status), mirroring the Windows verification instructions.
  • When listing OS-specific instructions, alternate the order or clarify that both are equally supported to avoid perceived prioritization.
