Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All examples and instructions use Windows PowerShell cmdlets, and there is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The prerequisites specifically require the Windows PowerShell module, and there are no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native instructions or examples. This makes the documentation less accessible to users on Linux or macOS platforms.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Include Bash shell examples for retrieving ARP tables or interacting with Azure resources.
  • Mention and link to Linux/macOS installation guides for Azure CLI or other relevant tools.
  • Clearly indicate which steps are Windows-specific and provide parity for non-Windows users.
  • Review prerequisites to ensure they are not Windows-exclusive unless absolutely necessary, and offer alternatives where possible.
