Bias Analysis

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing environment variable examples and file path conventions specific to Windows (e.g., set commands, C:\Temp\input.txt), and by recommending the use of AzCopy (a Microsoft tool) for file uploads without mentioning Linux alternatives. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., export, $HOME/input.txt), and the guidance for adapting commands to non-Windows environments is minimal and non-specific.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/macOS shell examples for setting environment variables (e.g., export clustername=CLUSTERNAME) and for file paths (e.g., ~/input.txt).
- Explicitly mention and demonstrate how to use Linux-native tools for uploading files, such as Azure CLI (az storage blob upload) or standard SCP/rsync.
- When referencing input files, show both Windows (C:\Temp\input.txt) and Linux/macOS (~/<path>/input.txt) formats.
- Instruct users on how to adapt the curl commands for bash/zsh shells, including variable substitution (e.g., $clustername, $password).
- Where Windows-specific recommendations are made (e.g., 'using an input file is the recommended approach'), clarify if this is also true for Linux/macOS or provide alternative best practices.
- Add a note or section explicitly addressing cross-platform usage, highlighting any differences or considerations for Linux/macOS users.
