Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively deploying Windows Server virtual machines in the example, mentioning only Windows in the VM descriptions, and providing only PowerShell commands for resource cleanup. There are no references to Linux VMs, Linux administration, or cross-platform command alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Include Linux VM deployment options in the ARM template and documentation, or mention that Linux VMs can be used.
  • Provide examples for both Windows and Linux virtual machines, or clarify that the template can be adapted for Linux.
  • Offer cross-platform cleanup instructions, such as Azure CLI commands (az group delete), in addition to PowerShell.
  • Avoid assuming the administrator will use Windows tools by default; mention alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'virtual machines') unless specifically demonstrating Windows-only features.
