⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ powershell_heavy ⚠️ missing_linux_example

Summary

The documentation page on deploying application packages to Azure Batch compute nodes exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Code examples for deploying and executing application packages are shown only for Windows environments (e.g., using 'cmd /c' and referencing Windows paths), with no equivalent Linux shell examples. The primary code samples use C#/.NET and reference Windows VM images first. Linux-specific instructions are limited to brief notes about environment variable formatting, without showing how to execute installed applications on Linux nodes.

Recommendations

Provide Linux-specific code examples for deploying and executing application packages, such as using bash or sh in the task command line.
Show how to reference and run installed applications on Linux nodes, including sample command lines and environment variable usage.
When presenting code samples, alternate or parallel Windows and Linux examples, or clearly label them as OS-specific.
Reference Linux VM images in pool creation examples, or provide both Windows and Linux pool configuration samples.

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ windows_tools

Summary

The documentation provides both Windows and Linux command line examples for running tasks, but Windows examples (cmd.exe) are shown first. In the 'Start task' section, Windows-specific tools like 'robocopy', 'MSI', and 'setup.exe' are mentioned as typical usage patterns, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives suggested. This may create friction for Linux users who need to adapt these instructions to their environment.

Recommendations

Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
In sections mentioning Windows tools (e.g., 'robocopy', 'MSI', 'setup.exe'), also mention common Linux alternatives such as 'cp', 'rsync', '.deb/.rpm installers', or shell scripts.
Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples for file copying, application installation, and other setup tasks in the 'Start task' section.
Add a note clarifying that tool choice depends on the OS of the compute node, and link to OS-specific guidance where available.

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ powershell_heavy ⚠️ windows_tools

Summary

The documentation generally covers both Windows and Linux for Azure Batch, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) are mentioned before Azure CLI, and Windows OS configuration details (such as TLS settings) are described in more depth than Linux equivalents. Some links and examples reference Windows tools first, and Windows-specific configuration guidance is more detailed.

Recommendations

Ensure that Linux examples and tools (such as Azure CLI) are presented alongside or before Windows/PowerShell equivalents.
Provide equivalent Linux OS security guidance, especially for topics like TLS/cipher suite configuration, not just Windows registry settings.
When referencing APIs or commands, include both PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, or clarify Linux/macOS usage.
Balance the depth of OS-specific security recommendations for both Windows and Linux.
Where possible, mention Linux distributions supported and provide links to their security documentation.

⚠️ windows_tools ⚠️ windows_first

Summary

The documentation mentions Windows-specific tools such as PowerShell cmdlets and Remote Desktop (RDP) access before their cross-platform or Linux equivalents. PowerShell is listed first in the command-line tools section, and RDP is referenced for node access without mentioning SSH, which is the standard for Linux nodes. However, the Azure CLI and Batch Explorer are described as cross-platform, and the API/library coverage is broad and language-neutral.

Recommendations

In the 'Batch command-line tools' section, list Azure CLI before PowerShell to emphasize cross-platform support.
In the 'Other tools for application development' section, when discussing remote access to compute nodes, mention SSH for Linux nodes alongside RDP for Windows nodes.
Where possible, clarify which tools and examples are applicable to Linux/macOS environments, and provide links or notes for Linux-specific workflows.
Ensure that code samples and tutorials for Python, JavaScript, and Java are highlighted equally with .NET/C# examples.

⚠️ windows_first

Summary

The documentation provides both Windows (RDP) and Linux (SSH) examples for configuring node endpoints in Azure Batch pools. However, in each example pair, the Windows/RDP scenario and C# code are presented first, followed by the Linux/SSH scenario and Python code. This ordering may subtly prioritize Windows users, but both platforms are covered with equivalent detail and parity.

Recommendations

Alternate the order of examples so that Linux/SSH scenarios are presented first in some sections.
Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux pools are supported and that the configuration steps are analogous.
Consider providing a summary table or section that highlights the equivalence of configuration for both platforms.
If possible, provide code snippets in additional languages commonly used on Linux (e.g., Bash/CLI, or PowerShell for cross-platform use).

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ windows_examples ⚠️ windows_terms

Summary

The documentation references Windows authentication events and Windows-specific terms (e.g., NTLM, SID, domain\hostname format) more frequently and provides Windows-centric examples (such as C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe, domain\hostname, and 'Windows 10' OS values). Windows is mentioned first when discussing operating systems and authentication sources, and examples often use Windows conventions. However, the schema itself is designed to be cross-platform and references non-Windows systems (e.g., AWS, SaaS apps, PKI, Service Principal), and does not exclude Linux/macOS. There are no PowerShell-only instructions or Windows-only tooling.

Recommendations

Add Linux/macOS-centric examples alongside Windows ones (e.g., show authentication events from Linux systems, use Linux process paths like /usr/bin/sshd, Linux user naming conventions, and Linux OS values).
When describing fields such as FQDN, clarify Linux/macOS formats and provide examples (e.g., 'host.example.com').
Include references to Linux/macOS authentication protocols (e.g., Kerberos, LDAP, PAM) in the LogonProtocol field.
Balance introductory statements to mention Linux/macOS equally with Windows when discussing authentication event sources.
Where possible, provide examples of authentication events from non-Windows devices (e.g., firewalls, VPNs running on Linux, macOS endpoints).

⚠️ windows_first ⚠️ powershell_heavy ⚠️ missing_linux_example

Summary

The documentation provides both Windows and Linux troubleshooting commands, but Windows/PowerShell examples are shown first and in more detail. In the troubleshooting section, the Windows command (Test-NetConnection) is presented before the Linux equivalent (nc), and the Windows command includes more flags and explanation. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples for other tasks (e.g., connecting to compute nodes), and the documentation refers to Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI in the prerequisites, which may suggest a Windows-first approach.

Recommendations

Present Linux/macOS commands and examples alongside Windows/PowerShell, or even first where appropriate.
Ensure parity in detail and explanation for Linux/macOS commands (e.g., provide equivalent flags and troubleshooting steps for nc as for Test-NetConnection).
Mention Azure CLI before or alongside Azure PowerShell in prerequisites and instructions, as CLI is cross-platform.
Add explicit Linux/macOS guidance for connecting to compute nodes (e.g., SSH commands, credential handling).
