Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively guiding users to create a pool of Windows compute nodes, specifying Windows Server 2019 as the OS, and providing only Windows command-line examples (using 'cmd', 'set', and 'timeout'). There is no mention of Linux node options, nor are there equivalent Linux shell command examples. The documentation does not mention or demonstrate how to use Linux-based pools or tasks, nor does it provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for creating a pool of Linux compute nodes, specifying a common Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu).
- Provide Linux shell command equivalents for the task command line (e.g., using 'bash', 'env', and 'sleep').
- Present both Windows and Linux options side by side or clearly indicate how to adapt the steps for Linux environments.
- Mention that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux pools, and link to documentation for both.
- Ensure screenshots and UI steps clarify where OS selection can be changed, and what options are available.
