Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_links
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by referencing Windows documentation links before Linux equivalents in the disk types section, even though the product is cross-platform. There are no explicit Windows-only examples or tools, but the ordering and linking pattern subtly prioritizes Windows.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that documentation links reference Linux documentation first or provide both Linux and Windows links side by side, especially since Azure CycleCloud is often used for Linux HPC workloads.
- Review all external links to ensure parity between Linux and Windows documentation, or use neutral, platform-agnostic links where possible.
- Explicitly mention that the instructions and options apply equally to both Linux and Windows VMs, or clarify any platform-specific differences.
- Consider adding a short section or note confirming Linux compatibility and providing direct links to Linux disk documentation for clarity.

Flagged Code Snippets
When you use a VM series that works with premium storage, the default is a premium SSH disk.

Azure offers four basic storage options: [Ultra](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/disks-types#ultra-disk), [Premium SSD](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/disks-types#premium-ssd), [Standard SSD](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/disks-types#standard-ssd), and [Standard HDD](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/disks-types#standard-hdd).
To specify the storage type for your virtual machine, use: `StorageAccountType = [UltraSSD_LRS|Premium_LRS|StandardSSD_LRS|Standard_LRS]` on your volume.
For example:
