Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: the example solution exclusively deploys Windows software (FFmpeg for Windows) on Windows-based Batch nodes, with no Linux alternative or parity example provided. ARM template examples specify Windows VM images only. The repository setup and build pipeline instructions focus on Windows artifacts. The agent pool for Azure Pipelines is set to 'windows-latest' without mention of Linux agents. Azure CLI tasks are configured to use PowerShell Core, a Windows-centric scripting environment, and the FFmpeg application package is specifically the Windows 64-bit version. There is only a brief note that Linux is supported, but no concrete Linux instructions, examples, or parity.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux software (e.g., FFmpeg for Linux) on Linux-based Batch nodes.
- Include ARM template snippets for Linux VM images and nodeAgentSkuId for Linux pools.
- Show repository setup and build pipeline steps for Linux artifacts, including zipping and publishing Linux application packages.
- Demonstrate use of 'ubuntu-latest' or other Linux agents in Azure Pipelines, and clarify cross-platform agent selection.
- Offer Azure CLI task examples using Bash scripts, not just PowerShell Core.
- Explicitly document any differences or considerations for Linux deployments throughout the guide.
- Add a section or callout highlighting Linux support with links to relevant tutorials or documentation.
