Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Microsoft HPC Pack, which only supports Windows nodes. All configuration, prerequisites, and tooling (such as the azhpcpack.ps1 CLI) are Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux support, Linux-based alternatives, or cross-platform considerations. Windows tools, patterns, and terminology are used throughout, and Linux is only mentioned to state that Linux compute nodes are not supported.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning that the integration is Windows-only and that Linux support is not available, to set expectations.
- If Linux support is planned, include a roadmap or reference to alternative solutions for Linux clusters (e.g., CycleCloud integration with Slurm or other Linux schedulers).
- Where possible, provide parity in documentation by referencing Linux-based HPC solutions and how they can be integrated with CycleCloud.
- If any cross-platform features exist (such as Azure Key Vault or Managed Identities), provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Azure CLI or bash scripts) alongside PowerShell/Windows examples.
- Avoid using only Windows file paths and PowerShell scripts; if the CLI or tooling is Windows-only, explicitly state this and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
