Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

windows_first
missing_linux_example
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments and PowerShell usage. All examples, instructions, and screenshots are specific to Windows clients, with explicit requirements for Windows PowerShell 5.1. There are no Linux or macOS instructions, nor are there any examples using cross-platform PowerShell Core or CLI tools. Windows-specific tools (Notepad, hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc, ping.exe) are referenced exclusively, and Linux equivalents are not mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and examples for connecting from Linux and macOS clients, including certificate management, hosts file editing, and endpoint verification.
  • Include PowerShell Core (pwsh) examples, which are cross-platform, and clarify any limitations or differences compared to Windows PowerShell 5.1.
  • Provide equivalent commands for Linux/macOS, such as using nano/vim for editing /etc/hosts, and using ping or dig for endpoint resolution.
  • Document certificate import/export steps for Linux/macOS (e.g., using openssl, update-ca-certificates, or Keychain Access on macOS).
  • Clarify whether Azure CLI (az) can be used for any of the steps, and provide CLI examples if possible.
  • Explicitly state any platform limitations (e.g., if only Windows is supported, explain why and if Linux support is planned).
