Windows Only Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation exclusively lists updates for Windows-based Azure Guest OS images, referencing only Windows operating systems, Windows-specific update mechanisms (e.g., LCUs, Servicing Stack Updates, .NET Framework, Internet Explorer, Windows Security), and Microsoft KB articles. There are no references to Linux distributions, Linux package managers, or Linux-specific update processes. No examples, tables, or notes address Linux guest OSes or their update tracking.
Recommendations
  • Add a parallel section or linked page that lists updates and security advisories for supported Linux distributions on Azure (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE).
  • Include references to Linux-specific update mechanisms (such as apt, yum, zypper, etc.) and how to track or verify applied updates on Linux VMs.
  • Provide guidance or links to documentation on how to check for and apply security updates on Linux guest OSes in Azure.
  • Clarify in the introduction that this page is specific to Windows Guest OS images, and direct users to Linux update documentation if applicable.
  • Consider a unified update matrix or dashboard that covers both Windows and Linux guest OSes for Azure, or at least cross-links between the two.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, with no mention of Linux alternatives (such as Azure CLI or SSH). The workflow assumes use of RDP, which is primarily a Windows protocol, and does not discuss Linux remote access methods (like SSH or xrdp). The 'Next steps' section lists PowerShell and Visual Studio (both Windows-focused) before mentioning templates, and omits Linux-native tools or workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for enabling and managing Remote Desktop extensions, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
  • Include instructions or references for connecting to Linux role instances (if supported), such as SSH or xrdp, and clarify limitations if only Windows is supported.
  • Balance tool recommendations in 'Next steps' by listing cross-platform options (Azure CLI, templates) before or alongside Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio).
  • Explicitly state OS requirements or limitations for Remote Desktop extension to clarify if Linux role instances are unsupported, and provide alternative guidance for Linux users.

Detected Bias Types
Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric tools and workflows (PowerShell, Visual Studio) before or instead of Linux alternatives. The 'Next steps' section lists PowerShell and Visual Studio as deployment methods, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-specific guidance. The only example link for queue storage uses a Windows environment variable tab. There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples for scaling configuration.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for scaling configuration and deployment, with explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include Bash shell commands and screenshots from Linux environments where applicable.
  • Reference cross-platform tools before or alongside Windows-specific tools (e.g., list Azure CLI before PowerShell in 'Next steps').
  • Ensure all linked quickstarts and tutorials offer Linux/macOS tabs or instructions, not just Windows.
  • Mention Visual Studio Code as a cross-platform alternative to Visual Studio.
  • Review image alt-text and instructions to avoid Windows-centric terminology (e.g., referencing Remote Desktop options).
