Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias: all virtual machine creation steps use Windows Server images, all automation and configuration examples use PowerShell (specifically Azure PowerShell), and there are no Linux VM or CLI (Bash/Azure CLI) examples. The instructions for installing IIS and remote connectivity are Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity in the workflow.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel instructions for creating Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside Windows Server VMs.
  • Include Azure CLI (Bash) examples for all resource creation and configuration steps, not just Azure PowerShell.
  • Demonstrate how to install a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) on a Linux VM, with corresponding automation scripts.
  • Show how to connect to Linux VMs (e.g., using SSH) in the testing section, in addition to RDP for Windows.
  • When referencing tools or commands, present both Windows and Linux equivalents, or at least alternate between them to avoid a 'Windows-first' impression.
  • Explicitly mention that the tutorial can be followed with Linux VMs and tools, and link to relevant Linux documentation where appropriate.
