Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Windows-based workflows: it instructs users to connect to the VM via RDP (a Windows protocol), open PowerShell (a Windows shell), and install SQL Server Management Studio (a Windows-only tool). No Linux alternatives or cross-platform instructions are provided for connecting to the VM, running DNS queries, or accessing the SQL database. The cleanup step uses a PowerShell cmdlet without mentioning Azure CLI or Bash equivalents.
Recommendations:
  • Provide alternative instructions for connecting to the VM using SSH, which is standard on Linux and also available on Windows.
  • Include examples of running DNS queries using Linux tools (e.g., dig or nslookup in Bash) in addition to PowerShell.
  • Suggest cross-platform SQL clients (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) alongside SQL Server Management Studio.
  • Offer resource cleanup instructions using Azure CLI (az group delete) and Bash, not just PowerShell.
  • Clearly indicate when instructions are Windows-specific and provide parallel steps for Linux/macOS users.
