Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation provides examples for creating machine configuration assignments using Bicep, but all concrete examples reference Windows virtual machines and Windows-specific built-in configurations (e.g., 'AzureWindowsBaseline'). There are no examples or references for Linux VMs or Linux-specific configurations, and the only built-in configuration shown is Windows-focused. This demonstrates a 'windows_first' approach and a lack of Linux parity in the examples.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent examples for Linux virtual machines, including how to assign configurations to Linux VMs using Bicep.
- Include at least one built-in configuration example for Linux (e.g., 'AzureLinuxBaseline') to demonstrate parity.
- When discussing built-in configurations, mention both Windows and Linux options, or provide a table of available configurations for both OS types.
- Ensure that the documentation makes it clear that both Windows and Linux machines are supported, and provide guidance or links for Linux-specific scenarios.
