Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The main example exclusively deploys Windows software (FFmpeg for Windows) on Windows-based Batch nodes, with ARM templates specifying Windows Server images and node agents. There are no Linux-based deployment examples, nor are Linux ARM template snippets or Linux FFmpeg package instructions provided. The build pipeline and repository setup only reference Windows artifacts. The agent pool for Azure Pipelines is set to 'windows-latest' without mention of Linux agents. Although a note states that Azure Batch supports Linux, no practical guidance or parity is offered for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel Linux-based examples, including ARM templates for Ubuntu or other Linux VM images and node agents.
  • Provide instructions for downloading and packaging the Linux version of FFmpeg, and show how to upload it as an application package.
  • Demonstrate how to set up the Azure Pipelines agent pool using 'ubuntu-latest' or other Linux agents.
  • Include Linux-specific YAML pipeline snippets and CLI commands where relevant.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support in the repository structure and build/release pipeline setup.
  • Where possible, present Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or alternate which is shown first.
