Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first

missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation page lists both Linux and Windows Azure App Service template samples, but there is a subtle bias towards Windows. Windows examples are often listed before Linux equivalents, and there are more detailed or varied Windows scenarios (e.g., Windows container, Windows with MySQL/PostgreSQL) compared to Linux. Some resource combinations are only shown for Windows, and there is no parity in example coverage for Linux (e.g., no Linux container example, no Linux app with Azure SQL Database). There are no command-line examples, so no PowerShell bias is present, but the pattern of presenting Windows first and more frequently is evident.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and Windows examples are presented in parallel, with equal coverage for each scenario (e.g., provide Linux container, Linux app with Azure SQL Database, Linux app with Redis, etc.).
  • Alternate the order of Linux and Windows examples or group them together to avoid always listing Windows first.
  • Where a scenario is only available for Windows, explicitly state this to avoid confusion.
  • Add missing Linux equivalents for all connected resource scenarios currently only shown for Windows.
  • Consider a dedicated section for Linux-specific templates to highlight parity and encourage cross-platform usage.
