Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Windows by exclusively using Windows Server for compute nodes, Windows command-line tools (cmd, type), and providing examples that only work on Windows. There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and Windows is mentioned first and exclusively in several key steps.
Recommendations
  • Include examples for creating pools with Linux VM images, and explain how to select Linux Marketplace images in the pool configuration.
  • Provide sample task command lines using Linux shell commands (e.g., 'cat' instead of 'type'), and show how to specify them in the .NET API.
  • Clarify that Batch supports both Windows and Linux nodes, and discuss differences in configuration and scripting.
  • Add instructions for building and running the app on Linux (e.g., using dotnet CLI on Linux, or VS Code), and mention cross-platform development explicitly.
  • Where Windows tools or patterns are mentioned, provide Linux equivalents side-by-side.
