Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell/Windows examples are presented before Linux/Bash equivalents, especially in the 'Verify your custom domain' section, where the PowerShell/curl.exe example is listed first. The use of Windows-specific tools (curl.exe, PS prompt) is prominent, and there is a lack of parity in instructions for Linux users in other sections (e.g., portal navigation, certificate management) where only GUI steps are described, which may differ on Linux. There are no CLI or automation examples using Azure CLI or Bash for key steps like managed identity setup, certificate addition, or DNS record creation.
Recommendations
  • Present Bash/Linux examples before or alongside PowerShell/Windows examples, especially in code tabs.
  • Include Azure CLI and Bash command examples for all major steps, such as managed identity setup, certificate addition, and DNS record creation.
  • Avoid Windows-specific tool references (e.g., curl.exe, PS C:\>) unless necessary; use platform-neutral commands (e.g., curl).
  • Clarify that portal instructions apply equally to all platforms, or provide CLI alternatives for users who prefer command-line interfaces.
  • Explicitly mention Linux and macOS support and provide troubleshooting notes for non-Windows environments where relevant.
