Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows Server images for compute nodes, Windows command-line tools (e.g., 'cmd /c type'), and Windows-centric terminology throughout. There are no examples or instructions for using Linux-based pools, nor any Linux shell command equivalents. The documentation assumes Windows as the default environment for both the Batch pool and task execution, and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples for creating Batch pools with Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS), including the necessary changes to the VirtualMachineConfiguration and ImageReference.
  • Provide Linux shell command equivalents for task execution (e.g., use 'cat' instead of 'type'), and show how to specify these in the CommandLine property.
  • Include instructions for running the sample app on Linux, such as using VS Code or the dotnet CLI on Linux, and clarify any platform-specific steps.
  • Mention the wide range of supported Linux Marketplace images earlier in the documentation, and provide guidance on selecting and configuring them.
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux options are presented in parallel throughout the documentation, rather than defaulting to Windows.
