Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates creating pools of Windows compute nodes and provides only Windows command-line examples (using 'cmd' and 'timeout'). There is no mention of Linux pools, Linux VM images, or Linux shell commands, which may mislead users into thinking Azure Batch is Windows-centric or make it difficult for Linux/macOS users to follow the quickstart.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions and screenshots for creating Linux-based pools (e.g., Ubuntu or CentOS images).
  • Provide Linux shell command examples (e.g., using 'echo' and 'sleep') for task command lines.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux pools are supported, and link to documentation on choosing OS images.
  • Consider alternating or equally presenting Windows and Linux options throughout the quickstart.
