Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and examples for creating and using Windows-based compute nodes (specifically Windows Server 2019) in Azure Batch. The task command line example uses Windows-specific commands (cmd, set, timeout), and there is no mention of Linux pools, Linux VM images, or equivalent Bash command lines. No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are provided at any step.
Recommendations:
- Include parallel instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux-based pool (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images) alongside the Windows example.
- Provide Linux-equivalent command line examples for tasks (e.g., using Bash: `bash -c 'env | grep AZ_BATCH; sleep 90'`).
- Explicitly mention that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux nodes, and help users choose the appropriate OS for their workloads.
- Where possible, use cross-platform language or clarify when steps are OS-specific.
- Add a section or callout guiding users to Linux-specific documentation or quickstarts if available.
