Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows guidance, but there is a notable Windows bias in several areas. Windows examples and tools (such as PowerShell and Remote Desktop) are mentioned explicitly and sometimes before their Linux equivalents. The detailed example for installing Microsoft MPI is only provided for Windows, and the process involves Windows-specific tools. In the pool configuration examples, Windows images and settings are often listed first or in more detail. There is also a reliance on Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, RDP) in the workflow descriptions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or parallel Linux and Windows examples in all sections, especially in step-by-step guides.
  • Include explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using SSH, Bash scripts) where Windows tools like PowerShell or RDP are referenced.
  • Add a detailed example for setting up MPI on Linux pools, mirroring the Windows MPI example.
  • Ensure that all configuration tables and sample settings are presented in a balanced order (alternating or side-by-side for Linux and Windows).
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools or provide both Windows and Linux command lines/scripts for tasks like driver installation and VM configuration.
