Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in the 'Try the sample' section by exclusively providing PowerShell-based deployment instructions and referencing PowerShell as a prerequisite. There are no equivalent instructions or scripts for Linux or macOS users (e.g., Bash scripts or shell commands). The use of PowerShell and the lack of cross-platform deployment guidance may hinder Linux users from following the tutorial seamlessly.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Bash shell scripts and instructions for Linux/macOS users alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Clearly indicate which steps are platform-specific and offer alternatives where necessary (e.g., use Bash for Linux, PowerShell for Windows).
  • If the deployment script is inherently cross-platform (e.g., via Azure CLI), demonstrate usage in both PowerShell and Bash.
  • List prerequisites for both Windows and Linux environments, including installation steps for PowerShell Core on Linux if it is required.
  • Consider restructuring the 'Try the sample' section to present both Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, ensuring parity and inclusivity.
