Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed PowerShell examples, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., dig.exe), and omitting explicit Linux/Bash examples. The CLI section uses Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but sample commands and tool references (like dig.exe) are Windows-centric. There are no Linux shell or Bash examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux-specific patterns or tools, nor does it clarify cross-platform compatibility for commands.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit Linux/Bash shell examples for all command-line steps, especially for obtaining DS records and using tools like dig (e.g., show 'dig' usage in Linux, not just 'dig.exe').
  • Replace references to 'dig.exe' with 'dig', and clarify that 'dig' is available on both Windows and Linux, providing installation instructions if needed.
  • In CLI sections, show both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) command syntax where differences exist.
  • Ensure that any PowerShell-specific instructions are accompanied by equivalent Bash or Linux shell instructions.
  • Mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide links to installation guides for each OS.
  • Where screenshots or UI steps are shown, clarify that the Azure Portal is OS-agnostic.
  • Review the order of examples: consider presenting cross-platform or Linux examples before or alongside Windows/PowerShell examples to avoid 'windows_first' bias.

Alternatively, you can also obtain DS information by using dig.exe on the command line:
5. If you don't own the parent zone, send the DS record to the owner of the parent zone with instructions to add it into their zone. ## [PowerShell](#tab/sign-powershell) 1. Sign and verify your zone using PowerShell:
