Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through the exclusive use of PowerShell (Windows-centric) for configuration examples (e.g., setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes), and by referencing PowerShell-based guides before or instead of cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives. There are no CLI (az), Bash, or Linux-specific instructions or examples provided for key tasks, such as configuring NSG flow logs or setting properties, which may disadvantage Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) and/or Bash examples alongside PowerShell for all configuration tasks, especially for setting NSG properties like FlowTimeoutInMinutes.
- When listing guides or instructions, present cross-platform (CLI, REST API, Portal) options before or alongside Windows/PowerShell-specific ones.
- Explicitly mention that all features and configuration steps are available and supported on Linux, and link to relevant Linux or cross-platform documentation.
- Include troubleshooting and usage examples that are relevant to Linux users, such as using jq or grep to parse logs, or automating tasks with Bash scripts.
- Ensure that visualization and export tool instructions are not biased toward Windows-only tools (e.g., Power BI), and highlight open-source or cross-platform alternatives equally.
