Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server for compute nodes, Windows command-line tools (cmd, type), and Windows-specific VM images. There are no examples or guidance for using Linux nodes, Linux command-line equivalents, or cross-platform task commands. The documentation assumes Windows as the default environment for both development and execution, despite mentioning .NET support for Linux.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for creating Batch pools with Linux VM images, including relevant ImageReference and nodeAgentSkuId values.
  • Provide Linux command-line equivalents for task execution (e.g., using bash and cat instead of cmd /c type).
  • Include instructions and code samples for running the quickstart app on Linux, highlighting any platform-specific considerations.
  • Mention cross-platform development environments (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider) alongside Visual Studio.
  • Clarify that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux nodes, and link to documentation for Linux configuration.
  • Show how to select between Windows and Linux pools in the code, and discuss implications for task scripts.
