This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.

Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation page is largely cross-platform and focused on Azure CLI, which is available on both Windows and Linux. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: the only cross-reference to alternative tooling is for PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool), and the only deep-link for restoring VMs with another tool is to a PowerShell tutorial. There is no mention of Linux-native scripting environments (e.g., Bash) or parity references for Linux-specific tools. Additionally, in the 'Cross-zonal restore' section, the link for zone-pinned VMs points to a Windows-specific Azure VM page, rather than a general or Linux equivalent.
Recommendations:
  • Where alternative tooling is referenced (such as PowerShell), also provide links to Linux-native alternatives (e.g., Bash scripting, or at least clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux and Windows).
  • In cross-references, ensure parity by linking to both Windows and Linux documentation for related tasks (e.g., restoring VMs with Bash or other Linux tools, if available).
  • When linking to documentation about Azure VM features (such as zone-pinned VMs), use general or Linux-specific pages, or provide both Windows and Linux links.
  • Explicitly state that all CLI examples are cross-platform and can be run on both Windows and Linux, to reassure Linux users.
  • Consider including a brief section or note on running these commands in common Linux shells (e.g., Bash, Zsh), especially for environment variable syntax and command chaining.
