Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and examples that assume a Windows environment. It specifies the use of Windows-based Batch node images (Dsvm Win 2019), uses Windows command-line syntax (cmd /c), and does not mention or provide alternatives for Linux-based Batch pools or Linux command-line usage. All tooling (Batch Explorer, Storage Explorer) is cross-platform, but the workflow and commands are tailored to Windows, with no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for creating a Batch pool with a Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu) and provide equivalent steps.
- Provide Linux shell command equivalents (e.g., use bash syntax instead of cmd /c) for installing Python packages and running scripts.
- Show how to specify a Linux start task (e.g., /bin/bash -c "pip install ...") and how to run the Python script in a Linux environment.
- Clarify that Batch Explorer and Storage Explorer are cross-platform, and note any differences in usage or UI on Linux.
- Add screenshots or notes for Linux users where UI or workflow may differ.
- Explicitly mention Linux as a supported platform in the prerequisites and throughout the tutorial.
