About This Page
This page is part of the Azure documentation. It contains code examples and configuration instructions for working with Azure services.
Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using Azure PowerShell for all command-line examples and automation steps. There are no CLI or Bash examples, and all referenced scripts and instructions assume a Windows/PowerShell environment. Even when linking to further resources, the documentation points to Windows/PowerShell-specific guides. There is no mention of Linux, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives, which may hinder users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) and Bash examples alongside PowerShell scripts for all automation and scripting steps.
- Reference both Windows and Linux guides for creating and managing resources such as Disk Encryption Sets.
- Explicitly state that the process can be performed from Linux/macOS environments using Azure CLI, and provide instructions or links for those workflows.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools and commands (e.g., Azure CLI) as the primary example, or present both PowerShell and CLI in parallel.
- Clarify any steps that are platform-specific, and offer alternatives for users on different operating systems.
