Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed PowerShell scripts and automation for Windows, referencing Windows-specific tools (such as Control Panel and Windows Firewall), and presenting Windows procedures and scripts before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. Linux instructions are present but are less automated, require manual steps, and are less detailed. There are also references to Windows-specific verification steps without Linux parity.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent automated scripts for Linux (e.g., a bash script to open firewall ports and configure the agent, similar to the provided PowerShell script for Windows).
  • Include Linux verification steps (such as commands to check agent status and connectivity) alongside the Windows Control Panel instructions.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel or in clearly separated, equally detailed sections to avoid the perception of Windows-first bias.
  • Reference Linux tools and configuration files with the same level of detail as Windows tools (e.g., mention systemd, firewalld/iptables, and log file locations for Linux).
  • Where possible, provide cross-platform CLI examples (such as using Azure CLI) instead of only PowerShell.
