Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation provides instructions for using the Azure Portal (web-based, cross-platform) and Azure CLI (cross-platform), but the only code sample for simulating device messages is a .NET console application (SimulatedDevice), which is Windows-centric by default. There are no examples or guidance for running the simulated device on Linux or using other common cross-platform languages/tools (such as Python). The documentation also references editing and running a C# file (Program.cs), which assumes a Windows development environment or familiarity with .NET tooling.
Recommendations:
  • Provide alternative simulated device code samples in a cross-platform language such as Python or Node.js, and include instructions for running them on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that the .NET sample can be run on Linux using .NET Core, and provide installation instructions or a link.
  • Add a note or section for Linux/macOS users, clarifying any differences or prerequisites for running the sample code.
  • Consider including Bash shell examples alongside Azure CLI commands, especially for variable setting and environment preparation.
  • Reference or link to official cross-platform SDKs and samples for Azure IoT Hub, highlighting their compatibility with Linux.
