Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-based VM images and tools are mentioned first and more prominently in code samples (especially in .NET/C#), with explicit references to 'MicrosoftWindowsServer' and 'batch.node.windows amd64'. PowerShell cmdlets are listed as a primary method for managing autoscale pools, while Linux equivalents (such as Bash or Linux CLI) are absent or less emphasized. Most code examples (especially in C#) use Windows-centric configurations, and there are no explicit Linux shell or CLI examples for pool creation or management. Although the Python example uses Ubuntu, it is presented after the Windows/.NET example, and there is no parity in showing Linux command-line or scripting approaches.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or at least Linux-parity examples in all SDK and code sample sections, including .NET and Python.
- Include explicit Bash/CLI examples for pool creation, autoscale configuration, and management, alongside PowerShell cmdlets.
- When showing VM image configuration, alternate or equally present both Windows and Linux image references, and clarify cross-platform options.
- Add notes or sections highlighting differences and best practices for autoscale on Linux pools (e.g., node agent SKUs, OS-specific considerations).
- Ensure that references to tools (PowerShell, CLI) are balanced and that Linux tools are not omitted or relegated to secondary status.
