Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

windows_tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. PowerShell/Windows examples are presented first in code tabs, with explicit use of 'PS C:\>' and 'curl.exe', while Bash/Linux examples are secondary. The use of Windows-specific command prompts and tools (curl.exe) further reinforces the bias. There are no Linux-first or cross-platform neutral instructions, and screenshots and instructions are exclusively based on the Azure Portal UI, which is platform-agnostic but does not address CLI or automation scenarios that are common on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Present Bash/Linux examples before or alongside PowerShell/Windows examples in code tabs.
  • Use platform-neutral command syntax (e.g., 'curl' instead of 'curl.exe') in examples.
  • Include Azure CLI instructions for key steps (e.g., managed identity, certificate upload, DNS record creation) to support Linux and automation users.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed on Linux, macOS, or Windows, and provide parity in example commands.
  • Add screenshots or instructions for Azure CLI/Cloud Shell usage, which is accessible from any platform.
