Summary
The documentation provides a balanced overview of both Windows and Linux support for container workloads on Azure Batch, but there is a subtle Windows bias in the ordering and some details. Windows is mentioned first in the supported VM images section, and Windows-specific notes (such as ephemeral disk mapping and multicore VM recommendations) are given prominent placement. However, all code examples (Python and C#) use Linux images (Ubuntu) and do not show how to configure or run container workloads on Windows nodes, nor do they provide PowerShell or Windows command-line examples. Windows-specific tooling (e.g., C:\ paths, references to Windows container limitations) is mentioned, but Linux is more thoroughly covered in practical examples.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Windows container workload examples in both Python and C# (and optionally PowerShell), showing how to configure pools with Windows container images and run Windows-based container tasks.
- Provide parallel code snippets for both Linux and Windows scenarios, including differences in image references, node agent SKUs, and command lines.
- Include guidance for installing and using Docker/Mirantis on Windows nodes, similar to the Linux Docker installation link.
- Balance the ordering of sections so that Linux and Windows are presented with equal prominence, or alternate which comes first.
- Clarify any Windows-specific limitations or requirements alongside Linux equivalents, ensuring parity in troubleshooting and configuration advice.
