Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing all Azure-side command-line examples exclusively in PowerShell, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native equivalents. Additionally, network validation and failover testing examples use Windows tools (tracert) and Windows-style command prompts, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., traceroute). This prioritizes Windows environments and omits guidance for users on Linux or cross-platform systems.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI (az) command equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for route validation and ExpressRoute circuit management.
  • Include Linux-native command examples (e.g., traceroute instead of tracert) alongside Windows examples when demonstrating network validation from on-premises servers.
  • Explicitly mention that the procedures can be performed from both Windows and Linux environments, and provide guidance or links for Linux users.
  • Where screenshots or sample outputs are shown from Windows terminals, consider adding corresponding Linux/Bash terminal examples.
  • Review the documentation for any other Windows-centric terminology or assumptions, and ensure Linux parity throughout.
