Summary

The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Microsoft HPC Pack, which is a Windows-based HPC solution. All configuration steps, prerequisites, and tooling (such as the azhpcpack.ps1 CLI) are Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux support, Linux node configuration, or equivalent Linux tools. Examples and instructions reference Windows technologies (Active Directory, PowerShell scripts, Windows Scheduled Tasks) and do not provide Linux alternatives or parity.

Recommendations

Explicitly state the lack of Linux support and provide a roadmap or timeline for future Linux compatibility.
Add documentation for Linux-based HPC solutions that can be integrated with CycleCloud, such as SLURM or PBS, and link to those guides.
If/when Linux support is added, provide equivalent Linux examples, tooling, and configuration steps alongside Windows instructions.
Mention Linux alternatives for Active Directory integration (e.g., LDAP, FreeIPA) and certificate management.
Offer cross-platform CLI tools or document how Linux users can manage clusters, even if only partial functionality is available.
