Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively describing how to connect to the VM using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which is a Windows-centric approach. There are no instructions for connecting via SSH, which is the standard for Linux VMs. The example assumes the use of IIS (Internet Information Services), a Windows web server, and does not mention Linux alternatives. While both Azure CLI and PowerShell are provided for deployment and management, the post-deployment access and validation steps are Windows-specific.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for connecting to Linux VMs using SSH, including example commands and expected outputs.
- Provide examples using a Linux-based web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) in addition to IIS.
- Clarify that the steps for connecting and validating the deployment differ for Linux and Windows VMs, and provide parallel instructions for both.
- Mention that RDP is specific to Windows VMs and suggest SSH for Linux VMs.
- Ensure that screenshots and walkthroughs are not limited to Windows environments.

## Validate the deployment
> [!NOTE]
> The Bicep file generates a unique name for the virtual machine myConsumerVm<b>{uniqueid}</b> resource. Substitute your generated value for **{uniqueid}**.
### Connect to a VM from the internet
Connect to the VM _myConsumerVm{uniqueid}_ from the internet as follows:
1. In the Azure portal search bar, enter _myConsumerVm{uniqueid}_.
2. Select **Connect**. **Connect to virtual machine** opens.
3. Select **Download RDP File**. Azure creates a Remote Desktop Protocol (_.rdp_) file and downloads it to your computer.
4. Open the downloaded .rdp file.
a. If prompted, select **Connect**.
b. Enter the username and password you specified when you created the VM.
> [!NOTE]
> You might need to select **More choices** > **Use a different account**, to specify the credentials you entered when you created the VM.
5. Select **OK**.
6. You might receive a certificate warning during the sign-in process. If you receive a certificate warning, select **Yes** or **Continue**.
7. After the VM desktop appears, minimize it to go back to your local desktop.
### Access the http service privately from the VM
Here's how to connect to the http service from the VM by using the private endpoint.
1. Go to the Remote Desktop of _myConsumerVm{uniqueid}_.
2. Open a browser, and enter the private endpoint address: `http://10.0.0.5/`.
3. The default IIS page appears.
## Clean up resources
When you no longer need the resources that you created with the private link service, delete the resource group. This removes the private link service and all the related resources.
