Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: .NET/C# examples are presented first and most frequently, often referencing Windows-specific VM images and node agent SKUs. Windows tooling (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets) is mentioned before cross-platform alternatives. There is a lack of Linux/macOS-specific examples, especially for command-line or scripting scenarios, and no Bash or Linux shell examples are provided. Python examples do use Ubuntu images, but overall, Windows-centric patterns dominate.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS-specific examples, such as Bash or shell commands for pool creation and autoscale configuration.
  • Present cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-specific tools like PowerShell.
  • Balance .NET/C# examples with equivalent Python, Java, or REST API examples, and ensure Linux VM images are used in at least half of the code samples.
  • Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility in tool and API sections.
  • Include troubleshooting or tips sections relevant to Linux/macOS users.
