Bias Analysis
Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias, particularly in the 'Guest configuration' section, which only references the installation of Windows security baselines and does not mention Linux equivalents. There are no explicit Linux examples or references to Linux-specific best practices, tools, or configuration baselines, despite Azure Automanage supporting both Windows and Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Include information about Linux guest configuration, such as supported Linux security baselines or compliance policies, alongside the Windows example.
- Explicitly state which services and features are available for both Windows and Linux VMs, and highlight any differences or limitations.
- Provide links to Linux-specific documentation where appropriate (e.g., for configuring security baselines or monitoring on Linux VMs).
- Ensure that examples and descriptions are balanced between Windows and Linux, or clearly indicate when a feature is Windows-only.
