Summary:
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows Server technologies, Active Directory, and Windows-based tools (such as PowerShell scripts and Windows Scheduled Tasks). There is no mention of Linux support, Linux-based configuration, or cross-platform parity. All examples, prerequisites, and operational details assume a Windows environment, and Linux compute nodes are explicitly not supported.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state the lack of Linux support at the top of the documentation to set expectations.
- If/when Linux support is planned, provide equivalent Linux examples, tools, and workflows alongside Windows instructions.
- Reference Linux alternatives for cluster management, autoscaling, and credential handling where possible (e.g., cloud-init, Linux-based domain join, Linux CLI tools).
- Include a roadmap or links to Linux-compatible HPC solutions in Azure CycleCloud for users seeking cross-platform options.
- Avoid using only Windows/PowerShell terminology in CLI and automation sections; provide Bash or cross-platform CLI examples if/when Linux support is added.
