Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
Summary:
The documentation exclusively uses Azure Portal (GUI) instructions and does not provide any command-line examples for either Windows (PowerShell/CLI) or Linux (Bash/CLI). However, this omission results in a bias of missing Linux parity, as many cross-platform users expect CLI (az CLI, Bash) instructions, especially for automation or Linux-first workflows. No Windows-specific tools or patterns are present, but the lack of CLI coverage is a form of implicit bias.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI (az) command examples for all major steps, such as creating DNS zones, Application Gateway, backend pools, and configuring WAF. These CLI examples should be written in a cross-platform way (Bash syntax) to ensure Linux and macOS users are supported.
- Where possible, provide both Portal and CLI instructions side-by-side or in tabs, so users can choose their preferred workflow.
- Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed via CLI and link to relevant CLI documentation.
- If PowerShell is to be included, ensure Bash/az CLI equivalents are always present and not secondary.
- Highlight any steps that are only possible via the Portal, and provide workarounds or alternatives for CLI users.
