Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively providing examples that use Windows command-line tools (cmd.exe) and syntax, with no mention of Linux equivalents (such as bash or sh). All code samples use 'cmd.exe /c echo ...', and there is no guidance for users running tasks on Linux-based compute nodes. The documentation also references Windows-centric patterns and does not offer parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/bash examples alongside Windows/cmd.exe examples, e.g., 'bash -c "echo Flowers"'.
- Explicitly mention how to configure and run tasks on Linux pools, including differences in shell invocation and exit code handling.
- Clarify that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux compute nodes, and link to relevant cross-platform documentation.
- Where command-line examples are given, present both Windows and Linux syntax side-by-side.
- Ensure that sample projects and code snippets demonstrate cross-platform compatibility.
