Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation provides detailed instructions and examples for managing Azure Storage Mover projects using the Azure Portal and PowerShell. All command-line examples are exclusively in PowerShell, with installation steps referencing PowerShell 7 and the Az PowerShell modules. There are no examples or guidance for using Azure CLI, Bash, or other cross-platform tools. This creates a bias toward Windows environments and users familiar with PowerShell, while Linux and macOS users are not provided with equivalent command-line instructions.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell command-line operations, including project creation, viewing/editing properties, and deletion.
  • Include installation instructions for Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, alongside PowerShell installation steps.
  • When listing command-line options, present Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples before or alongside PowerShell examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Explicitly mention that all operations can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Consider adding Bash script snippets or notes for Linux users where appropriate.
