Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_first
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools, file paths, and patterns (e.g., %ProgramFiles%, .exe utilities, Windows/Domain Account authentication). There are no examples or instructions for Linux environments, and the steps assume a Windows-based Azure Migrate appliance and SQL Server setup. Linux equivalents for discovery, authentication, or account provisioning are not mentioned or provided.
Recommendations:
- Add instructions and examples for provisioning least privileged accounts on SQL Server instances running on Linux, including relevant command-line utilities and file paths.
- Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance and its utilities are supported on Linux, and if not, explicitly state this limitation.
- If possible, provide cross-platform tools or scripts (e.g., PowerShell Core, Bash scripts) that work on both Windows and Linux environments.
- Include authentication and account creation steps for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, referencing Linux user management and SQL authentication.
- Rephrase steps and notes to avoid assuming a Windows-only environment (e.g., replace %ProgramFiles% with a platform-agnostic description or provide both Windows and Linux paths).
