Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by exclusively referencing the Azure portal (a web UI), Azure CLI, and REST API for configuration, but does not provide any OS-specific command-line examples. However, in the 'Test in virtual network' section, only the nslookup utility is mentioned for DNS validation, which is available on both Windows and Linux, but no explicit Linux or cross-platform shell examples are provided. There are no PowerShell-specific commands or Windows-only tools, but the absence of Linux-specific or cross-platform shell examples (e.g., bash, curl, dig) and the lack of explicit mention of Linux environments or tools indicate a subtle Windows-first and missing Linux example bias.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux and cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., using dig, curl, or bash scripts) alongside nslookup.
  • When referencing Azure CLI, clarify that it is cross-platform and provide sample commands in both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) syntax where relevant.
  • Add troubleshooting and validation steps using common Linux tools (e.g., dig, host, curl) to ensure parity.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed from Linux environments, and provide any OS-specific notes if differences exist.
  • Where screenshots or UI steps are shown, consider adding CLI/automation alternatives that are equally accessible from Linux.
