Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_heavy
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias, especially in the description of OS families (which only lists Windows Server versions) and the deprecated 'cloudServiceConfiguration' section, which is entirely Windows-centric. The 'virtualMachineConfiguration' section references a 'windowsConfiguration' property but does not mention or provide parity for Linux-specific configuration. While VM size links are provided for both Linux and Windows, the overall tone and examples favor Windows, and Linux configuration options are not described.
Recommendations:
- Add a 'linuxConfiguration' section under 'virtualMachineConfiguration' to document Linux-specific settings, mirroring the detail given to 'windowsConfiguration'.
- In the 'cloudServiceConfiguration' section, clarify that it is Windows-only and provide a parallel explanation for Linux users (e.g., direct them to use 'virtualMachineConfiguration' with Linux images).
- When listing OS families or versions, explicitly mention Linux options or clarify their applicability.
- Ensure that all examples and configuration tables provide parity for both Windows and Linux, including links to relevant Linux documentation where appropriate.
- Consider including a sample 'virtualMachineConfiguration' for a Linux pool, showing how to specify a Linux image and any relevant configuration.
