Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_first

missing_linux_example

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation provides detailed instructions and examples for Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI, but the PowerShell section is prominent and detailed, reflecting a Windows-centric approach. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor are there any Bash or shell script examples. The CLI examples are generic, but the PowerShell module is highlighted, and there is no mention of Linux tools or workflows. The documentation does not address Linux-specific considerations or provide parity for Linux users beyond the CLI.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Bash or shell script examples for Linux users alongside PowerShell examples.
- Include a section or notes on using Azure CLI from Linux environments, mentioning any Linux-specific prerequisites or differences.
- Balance the order of presentation: do not always present PowerShell before CLI, or alternate the order, or provide a unified example section.
- Mention Linux-native tools or workflows where relevant (e.g., using Bash, curl, or jq for automation).
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide links or tips for installing and using it on Linux.
- If PowerShell is mentioned, note that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, and provide installation guidance for Linux if relevant.

## Create the cache with Azure PowerShell
> [!NOTE]
> Azure PowerShell currently does not support creating a cache with customer-managed encryption
> keys. Use the Azure portal.
Use the [New-AzHpcCache](/powershell/module/az.hpccache/new-azhpccache) cmdlet to create a new Azure
HPC Cache.
Provide these values:
* Cache resource group name
* Cache name
* Azure region
* Cache subnet, in this format:
`-SubnetUri "/subscriptions/<subscription_id>/resourceGroups/<cache_resource_group>/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/<virtual_network_name>/subnets/<cache_subnet_name>"`
The cache subnet needs at least 64 IP addresses (/24), and it can't house any other resources.
* Cache capacity. Two values set the maximum throughput of your Azure HPC Cache:
* The cache size (in GB)
* The SKU of the virtual machines used in the cache infrastructure
[Get-AzHpcCacheSku](/powershell/module/az.hpccache/get-azhpccachesku) shows the available SKUs and
the valid cache size options for each one. Cache size options range from 3 TB to 48 TB, but only
some values are supported.
This chart shows which cache size and SKU combinations are valid at the time this document is
being prepared (July 2020).
| Cache size | Standard_2G | Standard_4G | Standard_8G |
|------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| 3072 GB | yes | no | no |
| 6144 GB | yes | yes | no |
| 12,288 GB | yes | yes | yes |
| 24,576 GB | no | yes | yes |
| 49,152 GB | no | no | yes |
Read the **Set cache capacity** section in the portal instructions tab for important information
about pricing, throughput, and how to size your cache appropriately for your workflow.
