Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the Azure portal UI (which is most commonly used on Windows), mentioning Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) relays (a Windows-centric technology), and omitting any command-line or scripting examples (such as Azure CLI, PowerShell, or Bash) that would be relevant for Linux users. There are no Linux-specific instructions or parity in tooling or workflow.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI examples for exporting, editing, and deploying Resource Manager templates, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Include PowerShell examples as an alternative, but ensure CLI/Bash examples are presented first or alongside PowerShell.
- Mention that the Azure portal is accessible from any OS, but provide parity for users who prefer or require command-line tools.
- Clarify that WCF relays are a Windows-specific technology and suggest alternatives or note limitations for Linux users.
- Provide guidance for editing JSON templates using common Linux text editors (e.g., vim, nano) in addition to generic 'editor of your choice'.
