Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation describes exporting DNS records via the Azure portal and downloading a 'host file' but does not provide any platform-specific instructions or examples. However, it implicitly assumes users will know how to use the downloaded host file, which is a format most commonly associated with Windows (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and does not mention how to use or apply the file on Linux systems (e.g., /etc/hosts). There are no PowerShell or Windows tool references, but the lack of Linux-specific guidance constitutes a bias.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions or examples for how to use the downloaded host file on Linux systems, such as appending entries to /etc/hosts.
  • Clarify that the host file format is compatible with both Windows and Linux, and provide steps for both platforms.
  • Include a note about required permissions for editing hosts files on Linux (e.g., using sudo).
  • If relevant, mention how to automate the process using shell commands for Linux users.
