Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. It assumes the user is on a Windows client, specifies Windows PowerShell as a prerequisite, and provides all command-line examples in a Windows context (including PowerShell prompts and Windows file paths). There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, examples, or file path conventions, and the use of Windows-specific tools and commands is emphasized throughout.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel instructions and examples for Linux/macOS clients, including shell commands and file paths (e.g., ~/.kube instead of C:\Users\<username>\.kube).
  • Mention and demonstrate how to install and use kubectl on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
  • Replace or supplement PowerShell-specific command prompts and output with Bash equivalents.
  • Clarify that the procedure is cross-platform and explicitly state any differences or limitations for non-Windows users.
  • Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., New-HcsKubernetesNamespace) are mentioned, note if there are Linux equivalents or if these steps must be performed from a Windows system.
  • Ensure screenshots and file path references are not exclusively Windows-centric, or provide alternatives for other operating systems.
