Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based registration instructions for SQL Server VMs and only mentioning the PowerShell script for license usage analysis. There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or references to Linux tooling for managing or registering SQL Server VMs, despite SQL Server being supported on Linux in Azure.
Recommendations:
  • Add links and instructions for registering SQL Server VMs running on Linux, such as referencing the appropriate Azure documentation for Linux VM registration with the SQL IaaS Agent Extension.
  • Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside or in place of PowerShell scripts for gathering license usage and availability details.
  • Mention and link to any Linux-compatible tools or scripts for license management and monitoring, or clarify if such tools are not available.
  • Ensure that all steps and walkthroughs explicitly note any differences or additional steps required for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
  • Review the documentation for assumptions that all SQL Server workloads are Windows-based and update language to be inclusive of Linux scenarios.
