Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
missing_linux_example
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell command examples for all CLI-based troubleshooting steps, without offering Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash equivalents. Additionally, the only explicit connectivity test tool recommended is PsPing, which is a Windows-only utility. There are no Linux-native or cross-platform alternatives mentioned for command-line operations or connectivity testing.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell for all resource and peering validation steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include Bash or shell script examples for relevant troubleshooting steps, especially for Linux users.
  • Recommend cross-platform connectivity testing tools (such as hping3, nping, or standard ping/traceroute) in addition to or instead of PsPing, and provide example usage for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Explicitly mention that the PowerShell examples are for Windows and provide equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where screenshots or portal instructions are given, clarify that the steps are platform-agnostic or note any differences for non-Windows users.
