Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing Azure PowerShell command examples for all verification and troubleshooting steps, without offering equivalent Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash/Linux-native alternatives. Additionally, the only traffic testing tool mentioned is PsPing, a Windows-only utility, with no mention of Linux-compatible tools. There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and workflows.
Recommendations
  • For every PowerShell example, provide an equivalent Azure CLI (az) command example, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • When referencing traffic testing tools like PsPing, also mention and provide examples for Linux alternatives such as hping3, nping (from nmap), or standard tools like ping and traceroute.
  • Explicitly state that the troubleshooting steps can be performed from any OS, and clarify which tools are available on which platforms.
  • Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'command line' instead of 'PowerShell') and avoid assuming a Windows environment.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, summarizing the equivalent steps and tools.
