Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias: compute nodes are created with Windows Server images only, and all task examples use Windows command-line tools (e.g., 'cmd /c type'). There are no examples or instructions for using Linux pools, Linux VM images, or Linux shell commands. The documentation also references Windows-centric development environments (Visual Studio) before mentioning cross-platform .NET CLI options.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and code samples for creating Linux-based pools (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS Marketplace images).
  • Provide Linux shell command equivalents for task execution (e.g., 'bash -c cat {filename}').
  • Show how to configure the VirtualMachineConfiguration for Linux nodes, including nodeAgentSkuId and ImageReference.
  • Ensure examples for building and running the app using the .NET CLI are given equal prominence to Visual Studio.
  • Clarify that both Windows and Linux pools are supported, and link to relevant documentation for Linux configuration.
