Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias. Windows tools (Visual Studio, WindowsServer VM images, cmd.exe) are referenced exclusively, and all code/package examples (e.g., PowerShell Install-Package, .NET WindowsServer NuGet package) are Windows-centric. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance for cross-platform scenarios, and the only VM image shown is for Windows. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users attempting to follow the guide.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS equivalents for prerequisites (e.g., mention VS Code, .NET CLI, Mono, or JetBrains Rider).
- Provide instructions for installing Application Insights packages using dotnet CLI (e.g., 'dotnet add package') and/or NuGet CLI, not just PowerShell.
- Include examples of configuring and running Application Insights on Linux-based Batch pools (e.g., Ubuntu VM images, bash command lines).
- Clarify whether the Application Insights instrumentation and telemetry initializer code works on Linux compute nodes, and provide any necessary adjustments.
- Show how to stage and execute tasks on Linux nodes, including sample bash scripts or Linux command lines.
- Explicitly state platform compatibility and link to cross-platform documentation where relevant.
