Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. All code examples are in C# using the Batch .NET library, and the only VM configuration example uses a Windows image. Task command lines use Windows-specific syntax (cmd /c), and there are no Linux shell examples. The explanation of environment variables for Linux is present, but no practical Linux code samples or shell commands are provided. Windows node requirements and patterns are described first, and Linux equivalents are mentioned only as notes or afterthoughts.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux-focused code samples, such as using bash shell commands in task command lines.
  • Provide examples of creating pools with Linux VM images and node agent SKUs.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions for referencing application packages and environment variables in shell scripts.
  • Ensure that examples and explanations alternate or balance Windows and Linux scenarios, rather than presenting Windows first.
  • Mention cross-platform SDKs or REST API usage with examples for both Windows and Linux.
  • Clarify any differences in application ID requirements or environment variable formats with side-by-side examples.
