Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently using Windows VM examples and references throughout. All JSON template examples use Windows images (MicrosoftWindowsServer) and Windows-specific parameters, with no Linux equivalents shown. The main template referenced is 'vm-simple-windows', and even the SSD disk example specifies 'osType': 'Windows'. Linux VMs are mentioned only in the 'Applies to' section and in a single link at the end, but no Linux-specific template snippets or image references are provided.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux VM template examples, using Linux image references (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and Linux-specific parameters.
  • Alternate or balance the use of Windows and Linux examples throughout the documentation, not just in links.
  • Include explicit notes or sections for Linux users, highlighting any differences in template structure or parameters.
  • Reference both Windows and Linux quickstart templates equally in the main text, not just in 'Next steps'.
