Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux guidance for configuring compute-intensive Azure Batch pools, but there is a noticeable Windows bias. Windows examples (e.g., installing GPU drivers, configuring MPI) are presented first and in greater detail, including explicit PowerShell and RDP instructions. Linux examples are present but less detailed, and some advanced configuration steps (like custom image creation for MPI workloads) are only shown for Windows. Windows-specific tools and patterns (PowerShell, RDP, MSI installers) are mentioned without Linux equivalents or parity in example depth.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux examples with equal detail and step-by-step instructions, especially for tasks like installing MPI and configuring RDMA drivers.
- Include Linux-specific command-line instructions (e.g., Bash, SSH) where Windows uses PowerShell or RDP.
- Ensure that advanced configuration scenarios (custom images, driver installation, application packaging) are covered for Linux as thoroughly as for Windows.
- Present examples in parallel or alternate between Windows and Linux, rather than consistently listing Windows first.
- Reference up-to-date Linux documentation and tools, and avoid referencing EOL Linux versions.
