Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

⚠️
missing_linux_example

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server images for virtual machines, referencing Remote Desktop (RDP) for connectivity, and providing only PowerShell-based test commands. There are no examples or instructions for deploying or testing with Linux VMs, nor are Linux command-line tools (such as SSH, curl, or dig) mentioned for connectivity or validation.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux-based virtual machines (e.g., using Ubuntu images) alongside Windows VMs.
- Include instructions for connecting to Linux VMs using SSH, and for Windows VMs using RDP, making both options explicit.
- Offer test commands using common Linux tools (e.g., dig or nslookup for DNS, curl or wget for HTTP requests) in addition to PowerShell/Invoke-WebRequest.
- Clarify that the firewall configuration applies to both Windows and Linux workloads, and that either can be used for testing.
- Consider reordering or presenting both Windows and Linux options together, rather than defaulting to Windows-first throughout the article.
