Summary
The documentation exclusively demonstrates creating a pool of Windows compute nodes and provides only Windows-specific command-line examples (e.g., using 'cmd', 'set', 'timeout'). There is no mention of Linux-based pools or equivalent Linux shell commands, and the steps for creating pools and tasks are tailored solely to Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and screenshots for creating a pool of Linux compute nodes (e.g., using Ubuntu or CentOS images).
  • Provide parallel Linux shell command examples for tasks (e.g., using 'bash -c "env; sleep 90"' instead of 'cmd /c "set AZ_BATCH & timeout /t 90 > NUL"').
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux pools, and highlight any differences or considerations.
  • Where possible, present both Windows and Linux examples side-by-side, or allow the user to select their preferred OS context.
  • Update the narrative to avoid assuming Windows as the default, and ensure Linux users are equally supported throughout the quickstart.
