Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. The example solution exclusively deploys Windows software (FFmpeg for Windows) on Windows-based Batch nodes, with ARM templates specifying Windows images and node agents. The repository setup and build pipeline only reference the Windows version of FFmpeg. The agent pool for Azure Pipelines is set to 'windows-latest', and Azure CLI tasks are configured to use PowerShell Core, a Windows-centric scripting environment. There are no Linux equivalents or examples provided, and Linux support is only mentioned briefly in a note, without actionable guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for deploying Linux software on Linux-based Batch nodes, including ARM template snippets for Linux VM images and node agents.
  • Include instructions for downloading and packaging the Linux version of FFmpeg, and update repository setup steps to show both Windows and Linux application folders.
  • Demonstrate how to set the agent pool to 'ubuntu-latest' or another Linux agent in Azure Pipelines, with corresponding YAML and release pipeline steps.
  • Show Azure CLI tasks using Bash scripts in addition to PowerShell Core, and clarify cross-platform compatibility.
  • Add explicit guidance and code samples for users who wish to deploy HPC solutions on Linux, ensuring equal visibility and parity with Windows instructions.
