Detected Bias Types
Windows First
Powershell Heavy
Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, particularly in the section on viewing DNSSEC-related resource records. Windows tools (Resolve-DnsName, nslookup.exe) and PowerShell examples are presented first and in detail, with explicit references to Windows client behavior and Group Policy. Linux/macOS equivalents (dig) are mentioned but not explained as thoroughly, and no Linux shell examples are shown. The guidance on DNSSEC validation also references Windows-specific features (NRPT, Group Policy) without Linux/macOS alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., dig usage in bash/zsh) alongside PowerShell, including installation instructions for dig if needed.
- Mention and explain Linux/macOS DNSSEC validation tools and configuration (e.g., Unbound, BIND, systemd-resolved, resolvectl, dnssec-trigger).
- Balance the order of examples so that Linux/macOS tools are not always listed after Windows tools.
- Clarify how DNSSEC validation can be enforced or configured on Linux/macOS clients and servers, not just Windows (e.g., resolv.conf, systemd-resolved, Unbound).
- Reference Linux/macOS documentation for DNSSEC validation and troubleshooting.

Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the 'Create the test virtual machine' and 'Test the private zone' sections. Only Windows Server is used for the VM example, and all command-line testing is shown via PowerShell and Windows command prompt. There are no Linux VM creation or testing examples, nor is SSH or Linux shell usage mentioned. Windows tools and patterns (RDP, RunPowerShellScript) are referenced exclusively.
Recommendations
- Include parallel instructions for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) alongside the Windows VM example.
- Show how to test DNS resolution using SSH and Linux shell commands (e.g., ping, dig, nslookup) on a Linux VM.
- Mention and demonstrate the use of Azure portal's 'Run command' for Linux VMs (e.g., RunShellScript).
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux environments, or clarify that the steps apply equally to both and note any differences.
- Avoid using Windows-specific tools (RDP, RunPowerShellScript) exclusively; provide alternatives for Linux/macOS users.

Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias in the testing and verification steps. While the Azure CLI commands are cross-platform, all virtual machine creation examples use Windows images, and all instructions for configuring firewalls and testing DNS resolution are written for Windows and PowerShell only. There are no Linux VM creation examples, nor are there instructions for configuring ICMP or testing DNS resolution on Linux/macOS. The use of Windows tools and PowerShell commands is exclusive, leaving Linux/macOS users without direct guidance.
Recommendations
- Include examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., using --image UbuntuLTS) alongside Windows VM examples.
- Provide instructions for configuring ICMP/firewall rules on Linux (e.g., using ufw or firewalld).
- Add Linux/macOS equivalents for DNS resolution testing (e.g., using ping, dig, or nslookup from a bash shell).
- Show output examples from Linux/macOS terminals in addition to PowerShell.
- Explicitly state that the Azure CLI commands work on all platforms and provide platform-specific notes where behavior may differ.
