This page contains Windows bias
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:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based VM images (e.g., 'microsoftwindowsdesktop.windows-11.win11-21h2-pro') in the code sample, omitting any Linux alternatives. Additionally, the 'Next steps' section highlights Azure PowerShell and Az.LabServices cmdlets, which are traditionally more familiar to Windows users, without mentioning cross-platform or Linux-native tools. There are no Linux VM image examples or references to Linux command-line tools.
Recommendations:
- Include examples that use Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in the code samples, either as alternatives or alongside the Windows example.
- In the 'Next steps' section, add links to Azure CLI documentation and examples, which are cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Explicitly mention that the Python SDK and code samples work on both Windows and Linux, and provide any necessary Linux-specific setup instructions if applicable.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, also reference Bash or other Linux-native scripting environments to ensure parity.
