Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, requiring the use of PowerShell, WinRM, and Windows-specific tools and workflows. All command-line examples are given exclusively in PowerShell, and there is no mention of how to perform these steps from Linux or macOS. The requirement to use a Windows machine is stated explicitly, and no alternatives or parity for Linux users are provided.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and command examples for Linux (and optionally macOS) environments, using SSH or other cross-platform tools instead of WinRM and PowerShell.
  • If certain steps are only possible from Windows, clearly state this limitation and, if possible, provide workarounds or alternative approaches for non-Windows users.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) command examples alongside PowerShell, especially for obtaining and using kubeconfig files.
  • Mention and document any platform-specific prerequisites (such as required packages or permissions) for Linux users.
  • Consider using cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSH) for remote sessions where possible, or provide guidance on how Linux users can access the required functionality.
