Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows-based SQL Server VM creation instructions (with the default image being 'SQL Server 2022 Developer on Windows Server 2022'), and by instructing users to connect using SQL Server Management Studio, a Windows-only tool. There are no examples or guidance for deploying a Linux-based SQL Server VM or for connecting from Linux clients using cross-platform tools.
Recommendations:
  • Include instructions for creating a SQL Server VM on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu) as an alternative to the Windows-based VM.
  • Provide examples of connecting to the SQL Server backend using cross-platform tools such as Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd, or other CLI clients available on Linux and macOS.
  • Mention both Windows and Linux options when describing VM image selection, and clarify that the procedure works for both OS types.
  • Add screenshots or command-line examples for Linux users where appropriate, such as using the Azure CLI or SSH.
  • Ensure that any references to client tools (like SQL Server Management Studio) are accompanied by alternatives that work on Linux and macOS.
