Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: it exclusively uses Windows VM images for compute pools, references only the Windows build of ffmpeg, and provides command-line examples using Windows syntax (cmd.exe). There are no examples or instructions for using Linux VM images, Linux-compatible ffmpeg builds, or Bash command lines, despite Azure Batch supporting Linux pools and .NET being cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and code samples for creating Linux-based pools, including the use of Ubuntu or other supported Linux images.
  • Provide guidance on downloading and packaging the Linux build of ffmpeg, and reference its usage in the application package step.
  • Include alternative command-line examples using Bash syntax for running ffmpeg on Linux nodes.
  • Mention the differences in environment variables and file paths between Windows and Linux nodes, and how to handle them in cross-platform .NET code.
  • Update screenshots and walkthroughs to show both Windows and Linux pool/job/task creation and monitoring.
  • Clarify that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux, and encourage users to select the platform that best fits their workload.
