Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux guidance for configuring Azure Batch pools with HPC and GPU VM sizes. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: Windows examples and tools (such as PowerShell, Remote Desktop, and Microsoft MPI) are described in more detail and often appear before Linux equivalents. The Windows-specific example steps are more explicit, including command lines and tool usage, while Linux examples are less detailed and lack equivalent command-line instructions. Some configuration steps (e.g., using PowerShell or RDP) are only described for Windows, and Windows-centric tools are referenced without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux examples are as detailed as Windows ones, including explicit command-line instructions for driver installation and configuration.
- Provide Linux-specific tooling examples (e.g., Bash scripts, SSH usage) where Windows uses PowerShell or RDP.
- Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, or alternate which comes first, to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
- Reference Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., mention OpenMPI alongside Microsoft MPI, provide links to Linux documentation for remote management).
- Where Windows-specific extensions or drivers are mentioned, ensure Linux alternatives are equally highlighted and described.
- Add more scenario examples for Linux, such as configuring MPI workloads with OpenMPI, and provide troubleshooting steps for Linux pools.
