Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias by listing PowerShell/Windows methods before Linux/CLI equivalents in several places, and by sometimes referencing Windows-specific tooling (PowerShell) more prominently. However, Linux/CLI options are generally present, and there are dedicated Linux and Windows disaster recovery sections. No major Linux examples are missing, but ordering and emphasis slightly favor Windows.
Recommendations:
- When listing methods (e.g., checking VM SKU availability, migrating VMs), alternate the order so that Linux/CLI and Windows/PowerShell are given equal prominence, or list CLI first as it is cross-platform.
- Ensure that all examples and links are provided for both Linux (CLI) and Windows (PowerShell) wherever possible.
- Where possible, use Azure CLI as the default example since it is cross-platform, and mention PowerShell as an alternative.
- In prerequisite and migration sections, avoid always listing PowerShell/Windows first; consider grouping by tool type or platform.
- Continue to provide dedicated Linux and Windows guidance for OS-specific procedures, but ensure parity in depth and clarity.
