Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-centric tools and workflows. PowerShell is given a dedicated section, and the Azure CLI examples use 'dig.exe' (the Windows version of dig) rather than simply 'dig', which is more common on Linux/macOS. There are no explicit Linux or macOS command-line examples, nor is there mention of Linux-native tools or shell environments. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for command-line operations and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for command-line operations, including Azure CLI usage in bash/zsh.
  • Replace 'dig.exe' with 'dig', and clarify that 'dig' is available on Linux/macOS by default, while Windows users may need to install it.
  • Provide sample commands for installing required tools (e.g., dig) on Linux distributions.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for Linux/macOS terminal environments where relevant.
  • Ensure that all PowerShell examples have equivalent bash (or generic shell) examples for cross-platform parity.
  • Review terminology and tool references to avoid Windows-specific language unless necessary.

Alternatively, you can also obtain DS information by using dig.exe on the command line:
5. If you don't own the parent zone, send the DS record to the owner of the parent zone with instructions to add it into their zone. ## [PowerShell](#tab/sign-powershell) 1. Sign and verify your zone using PowerShell:
