Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias primarily by provisioning only Windows Server virtual machines (using the 'win2019datacenter' image) and providing an IIS installation example that exclusively uses PowerShell commands. There are no Linux VM creation examples or instructions for installing a web server on Linux, and the only web server setup shown is for Windows/IIS. This omits guidance for users who wish to use Linux-based backend servers.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel examples for creating Linux virtual machines (e.g., using the 'UbuntuLTS' image) alongside the Windows VM examples.
  • Include instructions and sample commands for installing a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) on Linux VMs using the CustomScriptExtension or cloud-init.
  • Present both Windows and Linux options for backend server setup, making it clear that either OS is supported.
  • Where scripts or commands are provided (e.g., for web server installation), offer both PowerShell (for Windows) and Bash/shell (for Linux) equivalents.
  • Explicitly mention that the load balancer works with both Windows and Linux VMs, and link to relevant Linux documentation where appropriate.
