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
Summary:
The documentation is generally cross-platform and uses Azure CLI, which is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, in the AzCopy section, the file path example ('C:\myDirectory\myFile.txt') is Windows-specific, and there is no equivalent Linux/macOS example provided. This prioritizes Windows usage patterns and omits Linux/macOS parity in that context.
Recommendations:
  • For all file path examples (especially in AzCopy), provide both Windows and Linux/macOS variants, e.g., 'C:\myDirectory\myFile.txt' and '/home/user/myDirectory/myFile.txt'.
  • When introducing tools or commands that interact with the file system, explicitly mention that the examples apply to all platforms, and show platform-specific differences where relevant.
  • Consider alternating the order of examples or providing side-by-side examples for Windows and Linux/macOS to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Audit other sections (such as file creation) to ensure that instructions are equally accessible to users on all platforms (e.g., mention 'touch' for Linux/macOS as well as 'vi').
