Summary
The documentation is notably Windows-centric: it exclusively demonstrates creating pools of Windows Server nodes, uses Windows command-line tools (e.g., 'cmd /c type'), and provides only Windows VM image references. There are no Linux pool or command-line examples, and the workflow assumes Windows environments for both compute nodes and task execution. While .NET and Visual Studio are cross-platform, the quickstart does not show how to use Linux VMs or run Linux commands, nor does it mention Linux-specific considerations for Batch jobs.
Recommendations
- Add examples for creating Batch pools with Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) using VirtualMachineConfiguration.
- Provide sample code for tasks that run Linux shell commands (e.g., 'bash -c cat {filename}') in the CommandLine property.
- Clarify that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux compute nodes, and link to documentation on Linux pool configuration.
- Show how to build and run the sample app on Linux/macOS (e.g., using dotnet CLI), and mention any platform-specific requirements.
- Present Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or alternate which is shown first in examples.
