Summary
The documentation demonstrates a significant Windows bias. It exclusively uses Windows VM images for compute pools, references only the Windows build of ffmpeg, and provides command-line examples using Windows syntax (cmd /c, .exe). There are no Linux VM pool configuration examples, nor any Linux-compatible ffmpeg usage or shell command lines. The tutorial does not mention how to adapt the workflow for Linux pools or provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add examples for creating Batch pools with Linux VM images, including the necessary configuration (e.g., Ubuntu or other supported Linux distros).
  • Provide instructions and sample code for using the Linux build of ffmpeg, including download sources and application package setup.
  • Include Linux shell command-line examples (e.g., bash syntax for running ffmpeg) alongside Windows examples.
  • Clarify any differences in environment variables, file paths, and execution patterns between Windows and Linux compute nodes.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform support and provide guidance for users who wish to run workloads on Linux pools.
