Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation provides only Windows-based examples for the App Service plan and web apps (using azurerm_service_plan with os_type set to 'Windows' and azurerm_windows_web_app resources). There are no Linux equivalents or guidance for deploying Linux web apps, which may lead users to believe that only Windows is supported or recommended for this scenario.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel examples using azurerm_linux_web_app and an App Service plan with os_type set to 'Linux'.
  • Add a section or note clarifying that the same architecture is supported for Linux web apps, with links to relevant documentation.
  • Provide guidance or code snippets for both Windows and Linux scenarios, or use variables to allow easy switching between OS types.
  • Ensure that any OS-specific configuration (such as app settings or site_config) is explained for both Windows and Linux web apps.
