Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates creating a pool of Windows compute nodes, specifying Windows Server 2019 as the operating system. Task examples use Windows-specific command line syntax ('cmd /c', 'set', 'timeout /t 90 > NUL'), and there is no mention of Linux pools, Linux VM SKUs, or equivalent Linux shell commands. The documentation does not provide Linux alternatives or parity in examples, leading to a clear Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions for creating a pool of Linux compute nodes, specifying a popular Linux VM SKU (e.g., Ubuntu).
  • Provide Linux shell command examples for tasks (e.g., use 'bash -c "env; sleep 90"' instead of Windows 'cmd /c ...').
  • Add notes or sections highlighting differences and options for both Windows and Linux pools.
  • Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs show both Windows and Linux configuration paths in the Azure portal.
  • Mention considerations for choosing between Windows and Linux nodes, and link to documentation for both.
