Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows compute nodes, specifying Windows Server 2019 as the operating system, and providing only Windows command line examples (e.g., 'cmd /c', 'timeout'). There are no Linux pool options, nor are there any Linux shell (bash/sh) command examples or mentions of Linux-compatible tools or patterns.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and screenshots for creating Linux-based pools (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows example.
  • Provide Linux shell command examples (e.g., 'bash -c "env; sleep 90"') for tasks, and explain how to select the appropriate OS and command syntax.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux compute nodes, and discuss considerations for each platform.
  • Where possible, present Windows and Linux options in parallel, rather than Windows-only or Windows-first.
  • Include notes or links to documentation on running cross-platform workloads and using platform-appropriate tooling.
