Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates creating a pool of Windows compute nodes and provides only Windows command-line examples (using 'cmd' and 'timeout'). There are no instructions, examples, or mentions of Linux pools, Linux VM images, or Linux-compatible task commands. This creates friction for users intending to use Linux nodes or run Linux scripts.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for creating a pool of Linux compute nodes, specifying a popular Linux VM image (e.g., Ubuntu).
  • Provide Linux shell command examples (e.g., 'bash -c "env; sleep 90"') alongside Windows examples when demonstrating task creation.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux pools are supported, and link to documentation on choosing OS images.
  • Clarify any differences in environment variables or task output handling between Windows and Linux nodes.
