Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation consistently lists PowerShell as the first automation method, with extensive PowerShell support and example links for nearly every operation. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and its prominence throughout the support matrix (often before CLI or REST) suggests a Windows-first approach. While Azure CLI is also supported (and cross-platform), the documentation does not highlight Linux-native scripting or tools, and there are no bash/shell script examples or explicit Linux guidance. The focus on PowerShell and the absence of Linux-specific automation patterns or examples indicate a bias toward Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and CLI columns or list CLI first in some tables to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tools.
- Add explicit bash/shell script examples for common automation tasks, especially where CLI is supported, to demonstrate Linux parity.
- Include a section or callout on cross-platform automation, highlighting how Linux users can accomplish the same tasks using Azure CLI, REST, or scripting.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify that Azure CLI is fully supported on Linux and provide direct links to Linux-specific documentation or tutorials.
- Consider adding a 'Linux automation' or 'Cross-platform automation' row or column to the support matrix to make Linux support more visible.
- Review example links to ensure they include both PowerShell and CLI (bash) tabs or code blocks, not just PowerShell.
