Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it references Windows Server and PowerShell-based workflows before or instead of Linux alternatives, uses Windows-specific tools (such as Chocolatey for installing kubectl and Helm), and provides detailed SMB file share setup instructions only for Windows, with no equivalent Linux example. While some Linux commands are present (e.g., apt-get in a test pod), the overall guidance and tooling favor Windows environments, and Linux-native approaches for key steps (such as SMB share setup) are missing.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel instructions for setting up SMB file shares on Linux systems, including step-by-step guides for common distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
  • Include Linux-native installation commands for kubectl and Helm (e.g., using apt, yum, or direct downloads) alongside or before Windows/Chocolatey examples.
  • Reference Linux-based Kubernetes clusters and workflows (e.g., AKS on Ubuntu, generic Linux clusters) equally or before Windows Server-based clusters.
  • Offer PowerShell and Bash script examples side-by-side, or default to Bash/Azure CLI where possible, as these are cross-platform.
  • Clarify when instructions or scripts are Windows-specific and provide equivalent Linux alternatives (e.g., for setting execution policy, environment variables, or running scripts).
  • Expand the SMB file share testing and troubleshooting section to include Linux-native tools and commands (e.g., mount.cifs, smbclient).
