Bias Analysis

Detected 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.
