Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All code examples (REST API and C# SDK) use Windows-specific images and node agent SKUs, with no mention or examples for Linux equivalents. The configuration properties and explanations focus on Windows settings (e.g., windowsConfiguration, enableAutomaticUpdates), and there are no Linux-specific instructions or parity examples. This creates friction for Linux users who may not know how to adapt the instructions for Linux pools.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for Linux pools, including REST API and SDK snippets using Linux images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and Linux node agent SKUs.
  • Explicitly document Linux-specific configuration properties (e.g., linuxConfiguration) and any differences in upgrade behavior or requirements.
  • Mention both Windows and Linux options in supported OS images and requirements sections.
  • Ensure that the order of examples alternates or presents both platforms equally, rather than Windows-first.
  • Clarify any platform-specific limitations or considerations for Auto OS Upgrade.
