Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by providing only Windows-based examples for pool creation (both REST and SDK), referencing Windows-specific properties and images, and omitting any Linux equivalents or examples. The REST and C# SDK examples exclusively use MicrosoftWindowsServer images and Windows-specific configuration fields, with no mention of Linux images, agent SKUs, or configuration options. The requirements section discusses Windows Update and Windows-specific patching, without addressing Linux update mechanisms.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel examples for Linux pool creation, showing how to use Ubuntu or other supported Linux images in both REST and SDK sections.
  • Document Linux-specific configuration options, such as nodeAgentSKUId for Linux and any relevant OS update/patching settings.
  • Add notes or sections describing differences in OS upgrade behavior between Windows and Linux pools.
  • Ensure that references to supported OS images explicitly mention Linux options and provide links or lists.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux is mentioned alongside Windows, rather than only after or not at all.
