Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_first
Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for each query, but PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, despite PowerShell being a Windows-centric tool (even though cross-platform support exists, it is still most familiar to Windows users). No Linux- or Unix-specific shell examples (e.g., Bash, shell scripting, or piping output to jq) are provided. The ordering of examples (CLI first, then PowerShell) is acceptable, but the consistent inclusion of PowerShell examples without any Linux-native shell context may signal a bias toward Windows users.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Bash/shell examples for Linux users, demonstrating how to run the Azure CLI commands in a typical Linux shell environment.
- Include examples of parsing or formatting output using Linux tools (e.g., piping az graph query output to jq or grep).
- Clarify in the documentation that Azure CLI is fully cross-platform and can be used natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Consider including a 'Bash' or 'Linux shell' tab alongside the CLI and PowerShell tabs, or at least provide a note or example for Linux users.
- If PowerShell is included for its cross-platform nature, explicitly mention that it is available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation links or references.
