Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by providing only Azure PowerShell command examples for all CLI-based verification and troubleshooting steps. There are no equivalent examples using Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash scripting. Additionally, the recommended network testing tool is PsPing, which is a Windows-only Sysinternals utility, with no mention of Linux alternatives. No Linux-native commands or tools are referenced, and the documentation does not address how Linux users can perform the same tasks.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside all PowerShell examples to ensure cross-platform usability.
  • Include Linux-native network testing tools (such as hping3, nping, or standard ping/traceroute) as alternatives to PsPing for connectivity testing.
  • Explicitly mention that all PowerShell commands can be run in Azure Cloud Shell, which is available on all platforms, but also show Bash/Azure CLI syntax.
  • Where possible, add troubleshooting steps or command examples that use common Linux networking tools (e.g., ip, ifconfig, arp, route, netstat) for validating ARP, BGP, and routing.
  • Structure sections so that cross-platform or platform-neutral tools are presented first, or at least in parallel with Windows-specific tools.
