Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation provides examples for Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and the Azure Portal. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the inclusion of Azure PowerShell (which is historically Windows-centric, though now available cross-platform) and the absence of explicit Linux/macOS shell or scripting examples (such as Bash) indicate a mild Windows bias. Additionally, PowerShell examples are always present and given equal prominence to CLI, and there are no Linux-specific notes or examples, such as using Bash scripting or mentioning shell environments. There are no references to Windows-only tools, but the documentation does not address Linux users directly or provide parity in scripting approaches.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users, especially for common scenarios such as running az graph query and processing output.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide sample shell usage (e.g., piping output to jq or grep).
  • If PowerShell is mentioned, note that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, or provide a Bash alternative where appropriate.
  • Consider including a 'Platform compatibility' note to reassure users that the instructions are not Windows-specific.
  • If scripting is discussed, show both PowerShell and Bash script blocks for parity.
