Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing examples and references that are Windows-centric. The primary configuration example uses the 'AzureWindowsBaseline', and the only command-line example for deleting assignments is given in Azure PowerShell, with no equivalent Bash, CLI, or Linux-native example. There are no explicit Linux configuration examples or references to Linux baseline configurations, and the documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns.
Recommendations:
- Include examples using Linux baseline configurations (e.g., 'AzureLinuxBaseline') alongside or before Windows examples.
- Provide command-line examples using Azure CLI (az) and/or Bash scripts for managing machine configuration assignments, not just Azure PowerShell.
- Mention Linux-specific considerations or tools where relevant, such as differences in configuration package structure or assignment behavior.
- Ensure that property descriptions and examples are not Windows-specific and clarify cross-platform applicability.
- Where possible, alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples to avoid implicit prioritization.
