Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively using Windows command-line examples (cmd.exe /c echo ...) in all code samples, without providing Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Windows tools and patterns (cmd.exe) are mentioned exclusively, and there is no reference to Linux shells (bash/sh) or their usage. The documentation does not acknowledge or demonstrate how to configure or run tasks using Linux commands, which are common in Azure Batch workloads, especially for big data and HPC scenarios.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux shell examples (e.g., bash -c 'echo ...') alongside Windows cmd.exe examples in all code snippets.
- Explicitly mention that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux compute nodes, and clarify how task commands should be specified for each OS.
- Add a section or note describing OS-specific considerations for task commands, including how to detect or specify the target OS.
- Ensure that sample projects and linked resources include Linux usage and examples.
- Avoid using only Windows-centric terminology (cmd.exe) when describing generic task execution; use neutral language or mention both platforms.
