Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation provides only Windows-based VM deployment examples (using MicrosoftWindowsServer images) and does not include any Linux VM examples. There are no Linux-specific instructions, images, or notes, and the only OS-specific step (VM creation) defaults to Windows. No PowerShell or Windows-only CLI commands are present, but the lack of Linux parity in examples is a clear bias.
Recommendations:
  • Add parallel Linux VM creation examples using popular distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows examples.
  • Include a note or section explaining how to select Linux images with az vm create, and provide sample image URNs.
  • Where OS-specific steps are required (such as RDP vs SSH), provide both Windows (RDP) and Linux (SSH) network security group rule examples.
  • Clarify in the prerequisites or introduction that the instructions apply to both Windows and Linux, and highlight any differences.
  • Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples or presenting them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.

#### Create a network security group rule for inbound and outbound connections Create a network security group rule to allow RDP connections through port 3389, internet connection through port 80, and for outbound connections with [az network nsg rule create](/cli/azure/network/nsg/rule#az-network-nsg-rule-create).
