Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and patterns throughout. The prerequisites list only Visual Studio (Windows-centric), and the NuGet install example uses PowerShell syntax. The Application Insights package referenced is 'Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WindowsServer', and the example pool configuration uses a Windows Server VM image exclusively. There are no Linux equivalents or examples provided, and Linux-compatible Application Insights packages or deployment patterns are not discussed.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific prerequisites, such as instructions for using VS Code or .NET CLI on Linux.
  • Provide NuGet installation examples using the .NET CLI (e.g., 'dotnet add package') alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention and demonstrate the use of 'Microsoft.ApplicationInsights' or other cross-platform packages, not just 'WindowsServer'.
  • Include examples of configuring Azure Batch pools with Linux VM images, and show how to instrument .NET applications running on Linux nodes.
  • Discuss any differences in telemetry collection or configuration between Windows and Linux compute nodes.
  • Ensure screenshots and portal instructions are not Windows-specific, or clarify cross-platform applicability.
