Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows instructions and PowerShell usage are prioritized or exclusively shown in several sections, such as the AzCopy example and output, and the steps for downloading and copying VHDs. Linux-specific instructions are present for image preparation, but parity is lacking for subsequent steps (e.g., AzCopy usage and output are only shown for Windows/PowerShell). The documentation also references Windows tools and patterns (e.g., command prompt, PowerShell) more prominently than Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel Linux/bash examples for all command-line operations, especially for AzCopy usage (e.g., show azcopy commands and sample output in a Linux shell).
  • Include instructions for navigating to directories and running commands in Linux (e.g., using bash or sh instead of PowerShell/cmd).
  • When showing sample output, include both Windows (PowerShell/cmd) and Linux (bash) outputs where relevant.
  • Avoid using Windows paths (e.g., C:\azcopy\...) exclusively; show Linux path equivalents (e.g., ~/azcopy/...).
  • Ensure that Linux instructions are given equal prominence and not relegated to secondary tabs or notes.
  • Where possible, mention cross-platform tools and clarify that AzCopy is available for both Windows and Linux, with download links for both.
