Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates creating a pool of Windows compute nodes and provides only Windows command-line examples (using 'cmd' and 'timeout'). There is no mention of Linux node options, nor are Linux shell commands or patterns shown. The quickstart implicitly assumes a Windows environment for both node configuration and task execution.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and screenshots for creating a pool of Linux compute nodes, such as selecting an Ubuntu or CentOS image.
  • Provide equivalent Linux shell command examples for tasks (e.g., using 'bash -c "env; sleep 90"').
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux nodes are supported, and guide users on choosing the appropriate OS for their workloads.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting differences in environment variables, command syntax, and output locations between Windows and Linux nodes.
  • Ensure parity in examples and guidance for both platforms throughout the quickstart.
