Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and examples for creating pools of Windows compute nodes (specifically Windows Server 2019), and using Windows command-line tools (cmd, set, timeout) in task command lines. There are no examples or guidance for creating Linux-based pools or running Linux shell commands, nor is there mention of Linux options or parity.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and examples for creating pools with Linux-based compute nodes, such as Ubuntu or CentOS images.
  • Provide Linux shell command examples (e.g., using bash, echo, sleep) alongside Windows cmd examples for task command lines.
  • Explicitly mention both Windows and Linux options when describing pool creation, and clarify how to select the OS type.
  • Add notes or sections highlighting differences in environment variables, command syntax, and output handling between Windows and Linux nodes.
  • Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs show both Windows and Linux pool creation and task execution where applicable.
