Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows setup instructions and examples are presented before Linux, with more detailed steps and troubleshooting for Windows accounts, permissions, and tools. The installer script and appliance setup are described using PowerShell and Windows command-line tools (e.g., CertUtil), and the installation process assumes a Windows environment (e.g., references to IIS, registry keys, and Windows file paths). There are no equivalent Linux command-line examples or explicit instructions for running the installer or verifying hashes on Linux. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and Linux-specific troubleshooting or parity for installer setup is missing.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-first or parallel instructions where possible, ensuring Linux setup steps are as detailed and prominent as Windows steps.
  • Include Linux command-line examples for verifying file hashes (e.g., using sha256sum) alongside CertUtil for Windows.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance can be installed and run on Linux, and if so, provide explicit installation and troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
  • When referencing tools or commands (e.g., PowerShell, IIS, registry keys), note their Windows specificity and offer Linux alternatives or state if not applicable.
  • Balance the troubleshooting and permission guidance for both Windows and Linux, ensuring Linux users have equivalent support and clarity.
  • Where screenshots or UI steps are shown, indicate any differences for Linux users or note if the process is identical.
