Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by providing only a Windows-based VM image example (MicrosoftWindowsServer) and node agent SKU (batch.node.windows amd64) in the code sample, with no equivalent Linux example or mention. The example uses Windows-specific values and does not demonstrate how to update a pool to use a Linux image or node agent. There is no discussion of Linux VM images, node agent SKUs, or Linux-specific considerations, and the only concrete example is for Windows. This may lead Linux users to feel unsupported or unclear about the process for Linux pools.
Recommendations:
- Add a parallel example demonstrating how to update a pool to use a Linux VM image and the appropriate Linux node agent SKU.
- Explicitly mention both Windows and Linux options in all relevant sections, including lists of supported publishers, offers, and SKUs.
- In code samples, provide both Windows and Linux variants, or use a generic template with comments explaining how to substitute for either OS.
- Include a table or section listing common Windows and Linux VM image references and node agent SKUs for Batch pools.
- Review all examples and ensure Linux is given equal prominence and clarity as Windows.
