Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_first
Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for creating and managing Azure Functions, but does not explicitly mention or provide Linux/macOS-specific shell commands or considerations. PowerShell is highlighted as an alternative to Azure CLI, which may be less familiar or relevant to Linux users. The order of presentation (CLI first, then PowerShell) is reasonable, but the presence of PowerShell throughout and lack of explicit Linux/macOS guidance or troubleshooting may create a subtle Windows bias.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state that all Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide any necessary shell-specific notes (e.g., quoting, environment variables).
- Add a brief section or callout for Linux/macOS users, clarifying that PowerShell steps are optional and not required on those platforms.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, clarify its cross-platform availability, or provide bash/zsh equivalents if relevant.
- Include troubleshooting tips or common issues for Linux/macOS environments (e.g., permissions, path issues) if applicable.
- Consider adding a table or tabbed examples for 'Bash (Linux/macOS)' and 'PowerShell (Windows)' to make parity explicit.

The [az functionapp create](/cli/azure/functionapp#az-functionapp-create) command creates the function app in Azure. It's recommended that you use the latest LTS version of Node.js, which is currently 18. You can specify the version by setting `--runtime-version` to `18`.
