Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The example solution exclusively deploys Windows software (Windows FFmpeg) on Windows-based Batch nodes, with ARM templates specifying Windows images only. The repository setup and build pipeline instructions focus solely on Windows binaries. The agent pool for pipelines is set to 'windows-latest' without mention of Linux alternatives. There are no examples or instructions for deploying Linux software, using Linux-based Batch pools, or handling Linux application packages, despite a brief note that Linux is supported.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for deploying Linux software (e.g., Linux FFmpeg) on Linux-based Batch nodes.
  • Provide ARM template snippets for Linux pool configuration (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS images).
  • Show repository structure and build pipeline steps for Linux binaries.
  • Mention and demonstrate how to select 'ubuntu-latest' or other Linux agents in Azure Pipelines.
  • Ensure all CLI and scripting instructions are OS-agnostic or provide both PowerShell and Bash examples.
  • Move the note about Linux support to a more prominent location and expand it with actionable guidance.
