Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows virtual machines first and exclusively in the prerequisites, and by linking only to the Windows VM creation quickstart. There is no mention or example of deploying or managing Linux-based NVAs, nor are Linux-specific resources or patterns referenced. While the command-line examples use Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) and PowerShell (which is available on both Windows and Linux), the overall framing and examples prioritize Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Add a link to the 'Quickstart: Create a Linux virtual machine in the Azure portal' alongside the Windows VM quickstart in the prerequisites.
- Explicitly mention that NVAs can be Linux-based and provide guidance or examples for Linux VM scenarios.
- Ensure that references to VM creation, management, and tagging are not Windows-specific, and clarify that the steps apply equally to Linux and Windows NVAs.
- Where possible, provide parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux environments, including troubleshooting or validation steps that may differ between OS types.
