Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page, while focused on Linux custom images, presents Windows-centric links and examples first when describing how to create an Azure VM. Specifically, the instructions for creating a VM reference Windows portal, PowerShell, and CLI documentation before any Linux-specific equivalents, and do not provide direct Linux-focused examples or links. This may confuse or inconvenience Linux users and gives the impression of a Windows-first approach.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-specific links and examples alongside or before Windows options when describing how to create an Azure VM (e.g., link to /azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-portal and /azure/virtual-machines/linux/quick-create-cli).
  • Ensure that all example commands, scripts, and references are either Linux-specific or presented in both Windows and Linux variants.
  • Review the documentation for any other Windows-centric language or assumptions and revise to ensure Linux users are equally supported.
  • Consider adding a dedicated section or callout for Linux users to clarify any differences in process or tooling.
