Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Prerequisites and setup instructions focus exclusively on Windows tooling (Visual Studio, WindowsServer VM images, WindowsServer NuGet packages), and all code samples and configuration steps assume a Windows environment. The only example for installing dependencies uses PowerShell, and the VM configuration is for Windows only. There are no Linux equivalents or instructions, nor any mention of cross-platform compatibility or alternative Linux workflows.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific instructions for setting up Application Insights in Azure Batch, including supported Linux VM images and configuration.
- Provide examples for installing dependencies using Linux tools (e.g., dotnet CLI, apt, yum) alongside PowerShell.
- Include code samples and configuration steps that work on both Windows and Linux compute nodes, or clearly indicate platform-specific differences.
- Mention and link to cross-platform .NET development environments (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider) in prerequisites.
- Clarify whether the Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WindowsServer package is required for Linux, and if not, provide guidance for Linux users.
- Describe how to run background telemetry processes on Linux nodes (e.g., using bash scripts or systemd instead of cmd.exe).
