Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. The example solution exclusively deploys Windows software (FFmpeg for Windows) on Windows-based Batch nodes, with ARM templates specifying Windows Server images and node agents. There are no Linux equivalents or examples provided, and the repository setup, build, and deployment instructions all assume Windows artifacts. The agent pool for pipelines is set to 'windows-latest', and scripting tasks use PowerShell Core, with no mention of Bash or Linux-based agents. Windows tools and patterns are referenced throughout, while Linux alternatives are missing.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux software (e.g., FFmpeg for Linux) on Linux-based Batch nodes.
  • Include ARM template snippets for Linux pool configuration (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS images, Linux node agent SKU).
  • Show how to set up the repository and pipelines for Linux application packages, including build and artifact steps.
  • Offer instructions for using 'ubuntu-latest' or other Linux agents in Azure Pipelines, and demonstrate Bash scripting tasks.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support in relevant sections, and link to Linux-focused tutorials.
  • Balance screenshots and walkthroughs to show both Windows and Linux scenarios.
