Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. PowerShell commands are used exclusively for Azure Batch account and pipeline management, with no mention of equivalent Azure CLI or Bash commands. Examples of custom activities use Windows executables (.exe) and Windows command syntax (e.g., 'cmd /c dir', 'cmd /c echo hello world'), with no Linux shell or cross-platform examples. Windows tools and patterns are referenced first and exclusively, while Linux alternatives are absent.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell for all management tasks (e.g., creating Batch accounts, pools, running pipelines, retrieving outputs).
- Provide sample custom activities using Linux executables (e.g., shell scripts, Python scripts) and Linux command syntax (e.g., '/bin/bash -c "echo hello world"').
- Explicitly mention how to configure Azure Batch pools with Linux VM images and provide examples for both Windows and Linux pool configurations.
- Clarify cross-platform support for custom activities, including any OS-specific considerations for command syntax, file paths, and application packaging.
- Ensure that references to Windows tools (e.g., .exe, cmd) are balanced with Linux equivalents (e.g., .sh, bash), and provide guidance for users on both platforms.
