Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Code examples for deploying and running application packages on Azure Batch are exclusively in C# and use Windows-centric command lines (e.g., 'cmd /c', Windows environment variable formats, Windows image references). There are no Linux shell or Bash examples, and Windows node configuration is shown before Linux equivalents. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as referencing 'cmd /c' and Windows image references) are used without Linux alternatives. Linux-specific details are only mentioned in passing, mostly in environment variable formatting, and not in code or deployment examples.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/Bash code examples alongside Windows examples, especially for task command lines and environment variable usage.
- Show how to configure pools with Linux VM images, including sample imageReference for popular Linux distributions.
- Include Linux-specific instructions for referencing and executing installed application packages (e.g., using Bash, environment variable syntax, and file paths).
- Ensure that examples and explanations are presented in parallel for both Windows and Linux, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (such as shell scripts) where Windows tools (like cmd.exe) are referenced.
- Add a section or table summarizing differences and best practices for both Windows and Linux compute nodes.
