Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates subtle Windows bias by listing Windows SKU availability before Linux, referencing Azure PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) alongside Azure CLI, and using Windows terminology (e.g., 'Windows SKU', 'Azure PowerShell') without equal emphasis on Linux-native tools or shell environments. While Linux is mentioned and supported, examples and instructions are not always presented with Linux parity or in a Linux-first manner.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side or alternate their order to avoid always listing Windows first.
- Include Bash or shell script automation examples in addition to Azure CLI and PowerShell, especially for Linux users.
- Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, or provide equivalent Bash commands.
- Use neutral terminology (e.g., 'Platform SKU availability') instead of 'Windows SKU availability' unless a distinction is necessary.
- Explicitly state Linux support and provide Linux-specific guidance where platform differences exist.
