Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates creating a pool of Windows compute nodes and provides only Windows command-line examples (cmd.exe syntax). There is no mention of Linux pools, nor are there any Linux shell (bash/sh) examples for task commands. The documentation refers to Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as 'cmd /c', 'timeout', and the selection of 'microsoftwindowsserver' as the OS, without offering Linux alternatives or guidance.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for creating a pool of Linux compute nodes, such as selecting an Ubuntu or CentOS image.
  • Provide Linux shell (bash/sh) command-line examples for tasks, e.g., 'echo $AZ_BATCH; sleep 90'.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux pools are supported, and link to documentation for Linux pool configuration.
  • Present Windows and Linux examples side-by-side or indicate OS-specific steps where relevant.
  • Clarify any differences in environment variables or task output between Windows and Linux nodes.
