Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server as the virtual machine image in the example and referencing Microsoft Edge as the browser to test connectivity. There are no Linux VM creation steps, nor are there instructions for Linux users to test outbound connectivity. The only administrator account option shown is username/password (no mention of SSH keys, which are standard for Linux).
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for creating a Linux virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows example, including appropriate image selection and authentication (SSH key).
- Include Linux-specific steps for testing outbound connectivity, such as using curl or wget from the command line, instead of (or in addition to) opening a browser.
- Mention both Windows and Linux options when referencing tools or actions (e.g., 'Open Microsoft Edge or your preferred browser' or 'use curl/wget').
- Clarify that the steps apply to both Windows and Linux VMs, and highlight any differences in configuration or testing.
- When referencing administrator account creation, include SSH key authentication as an option for Linux VMs.
