Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server VM images for the compute pool, referencing only Windows builds of ffmpeg, and providing command-line examples that use Windows-specific syntax (cmd.exe). There are no Linux VM pool configuration examples, nor any Linux/Unix shell command-line equivalents for running ffmpeg. The tutorial does not mention how to use Linux images or ffmpeg on Linux nodes, nor does it provide parity for Linux users in the sample code or instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and instructions for configuring a Batch pool with a Linux VM image (e.g., Ubuntu).
  • Include sample code and command-line syntax for running ffmpeg on Linux nodes (e.g., using bash and ./ffmpeg).
  • Provide download links and instructions for obtaining ffmpeg for Linux, alongside the Windows version.
  • Show how to set up the ApplicationPackageReference for Linux pools, including any differences in path or execution.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform support and clarify any differences in setup or execution between Windows and Linux nodes.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic code and instructions, or provide side-by-side examples for both Windows and Linux.
