Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation contains a subtle Windows bias in the troubleshooting section, where only the Windows-specific command ('ipconfig /flushdns') is provided for clearing the DNS cache. No equivalent Linux or macOS commands are mentioned, and Windows is the only OS explicitly referenced in this context. The rest of the documentation is platform-neutral, focusing on Azure Portal UI and DNS provider interfaces.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent DNS cache flush commands for Linux (e.g., 'sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches' or 'sudo service nscd restart') and macOS (e.g., 'sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder').
  • Rephrase troubleshooting steps to address users on all major platforms, not just Windows.
  • Where OS-specific instructions are needed, present them in a tabbed or bulleted format, giving parity to Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Review future documentation for similar single-platform troubleshooting tips and ensure cross-platform inclusivity.
