Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows-based VM images and node agent SKUs are shown first and exclusively in .NET code examples, while Linux equivalents are only present in Python examples. Windows terminology (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets) is mentioned before cross-platform tools like the CLI. There are no explicit Linux-focused .NET or PowerShell examples, and sample code for .NET consistently uses Windows VM images. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux in .NET or PowerShell, nor does it highlight Linux usage patterns or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Add .NET code examples that use Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu) and node agent SKUs for Linux.
  • Include PowerShell examples for creating and managing autoscale pools with Linux VM images.
  • Present cross-platform tools (CLI, REST API) before or alongside Windows-specific tools (PowerShell), and clarify their OS compatibility.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support and provide troubleshooting tips or notes for Linux pools where relevant.
  • Ensure that all SDK examples (including .NET and PowerShell) demonstrate both Windows and Linux pool creation and autoscaling.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally in examples and tool references.
