Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Azure PowerShell cmdlets and provides only PowerShell-based examples for diagnosing VM network routing problems. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native command examples, and the prerequisites and workflow assume familiarity with PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling. This creates a bias toward Windows users and may hinder Linux users or those preferring Azure CLI or Bash.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for all steps, including VM creation, Network Watcher setup, next hop diagnostics, and resource cleanup.
  • Include Bash script examples and instructions for running commands in the Azure Cloud Shell Bash environment.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support and provide guidance for users who prefer Linux or non-PowerShell environments.
  • Reorganize prerequisites to present both PowerShell and CLI/Bash options equally, rather than defaulting to PowerShell.
  • Where possible, reference cross-platform tools and avoid assuming PowerShell as the default interface.
