Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: configuration changes on the Azure Migrate appliance are described exclusively using Windows paths (e.g., %programdata%\Microsoft Azure\Config), and the instructions for restarting services use PowerShell and Windows service commands (net stop/start). There are no Linux-based examples or instructions for scenarios where the appliance might be running on Linux, nor is there mention of Linux equivalents for remote access or file editing. The documentation assumes the appliance is a Windows system, omitting guidance for Linux-based deployments.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel instructions for Linux-based appliances, including file paths (e.g., /etc/ or /var/lib/...), service management commands (e.g., systemctl restart servicename), and text editors (e.g., nano, vi).
  • When referencing remote access, mention both Remote Desktop (Windows) and SSH (Linux) as options.
  • Avoid assuming the appliance is always Windows; clarify OS-specific steps or provide a decision point based on the appliance's operating system.
  • Include Linux shell command examples alongside PowerShell/Windows commands.
  • Document any differences in configuration file locations, formats, or service names between Windows and Linux deployments.
