Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily in the 'Connect to the developer portal' section, where instructions for editing the hosts file are provided exclusively for Windows (using Notepad and the C:\windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts path). There are no equivalent instructions for Linux or macOS users, nor is there mention of alternative text editors or file paths. Throughout the rest of the document, command-line examples use Azure CLI and kubectl, which are cross-platform, and do not show a strong bias toward Windows or PowerShell. However, the explicit mention of 'Switch to PowerShell' in Azure Cloud Shell may suggest a slight preference for Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts) and macOS (e.g., using sudo vi /etc/hosts).
  • Mention the default hosts file paths for Linux (/etc/hosts) and macOS (/etc/hosts) alongside the Windows path.
  • Suggest cross-platform text editors (nano, vi, etc.) in addition to Notepad.
  • Clarify that all CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide any OS-specific notes if necessary.
  • If referencing Azure Cloud Shell, note that both Bash and PowerShell are available, and users can choose either based on their preference.
