Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently mentioning Windows (RDP) before Linux (SSH) when describing how to connect to VMs, providing only Windows-specific .NET SDK code samples (with 'batch.node.windows amd64' as the node agent SKU), and omitting explicit Linux-focused code examples or command-line walkthroughs. Additionally, there is no example of using Linux tools or scripts to create or manage images/pools, and the REST API example does not clarify Linux-specific values for nodeAgentSkuId.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux-focused code samples (e.g., using 'batch.node.ubuntu' or other Linux nodeAgentSkuId values) alongside Windows examples in SDK and REST API sections.
- When describing how to connect to VMs, alternate or equally prioritize Linux (SSH) and Windows (RDP) instructions.
- Include explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Bash/CLI) for preparing VMs, creating snapshots, and images.
- Clarify the nodeAgentSkuId values for common Linux distributions in REST API and SDK examples.
- Add references to Linux-specific documentation and tools where appropriate, not just Windows or generic Azure tools.
