Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. In code examples, Windows and .NET (C#) are consistently presented first and in greater detail, including VM image references for Microsoft Windows Server. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, .NET SDK) are mentioned before their Linux equivalents, and Linux-specific examples (such as Python SDK usage with Ubuntu images) are present but less prominent and detailed. There are no explicit Linux shell or CLI examples, and PowerShell is referenced as a primary tool for interacting with Azure Batch, with no parity for Bash or other Linux-native tools.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and macOS examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Expand Python and Linux VM examples to match the detail and coverage given to .NET/Windows.
- Include explicit instructions and code snippets for creating and managing pools using Linux tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash scripts).
- Reference Linux/macOS documentation and quickstart repositories as prominently as Windows/.NET resources.
- Ensure VM image references in examples alternate between Windows and Linux distributions, or provide both in parallel.
