Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for creating Batch pools with extensions, but there is a noticeable emphasis on Windows-specific extensions and tooling. The list of supported extensions includes several Windows-only options (e.g., Antimalware, Diagnostics, HPC GPU drivers for AMD), and Windows extensions are often listed before or alongside Linux equivalents. There are references to Windows-specific certificate store locations and settings, and some troubleshooting guidance is generic but links to both Linux and Windows docs. However, there is a lack of parity in advanced examples, troubleshooting, and extension coverage for Linux, and no Linux-specific command-line or tooling examples (e.g., Bash, cloud-init) are provided.
Recommendations
- Ensure that Linux and Windows extensions are presented with equal prominence, alternating order or grouping by OS.
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and example log file locations (e.g., /var/log/waagent.log) alongside Windows equivalents.
- Include examples using Linux-native tools (such as Bash scripts, cloud-init, or systemd) for extension management and diagnostics.
- Expand the list of supported extensions to highlight Linux-only or Linux-preferred options, if available.
- Provide parity in advanced configuration examples for both Linux and Windows, including certificate management and security settings.
- Where Windows-specific terminology or settings are used (e.g., 'LocalMachine' certificate store), provide the Linux equivalent or a note explaining the difference.
