Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing command-line examples and instructions that are Windows-centric, such as showing nslookup output from a Windows command prompt (C:\Users\testuser>), referencing RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to access VMs, and mentioning Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and Linux-native access methods (like SSH) are not mentioned. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and workflows, potentially making it less accessible to Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples alongside Windows ones, such as showing nslookup output from a Linux shell (e.g., $ nslookup ...).
- Mention SSH as an alternative to RDP for accessing VMs, and provide instructions for both.
- When listing automation options (PowerShell, CLI, ARM templates), avoid listing PowerShell first or highlight CLI as cross-platform.
- Explicitly state that all steps can be performed from Linux, macOS, or Windows, and link to relevant cross-platform documentation.
- Include screenshots or terminal outputs from Linux environments where appropriate.
