Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

windows_first

missing_linux_example

windows_tools

Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only a C# SDK example that uses a Windows VM image (MicrosoftWindowsServer) and node agent (batch.node.windows amd64), with no equivalent example for Linux VM images or Linux node agents. There are no Linux-specific examples, commands, or references to Linux tools or patterns. The documentation implicitly prioritizes Windows by example and omits Linux parity.

Recommendations

Add parallel examples using Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and the appropriate Linux node agent SKU in the C# SDK example.
Explicitly mention both Windows and Linux options when discussing VM image configuration, including sample publisher/offer/sku values for popular Linux distributions.
Provide at least one example that updates a pool to use a Linux image, including the correct nodeAgentSkuId for Linux.
Where relevant, mention any Linux-specific considerations or differences in pool property updates.
Ensure that REST/HTTP and SDK examples are balanced between Windows and Linux scenarios.
