Summary
The documentation page 'Manage certificates in a Service Fabric cluster' demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is the only scripting language used for automation examples, and references to Windows-specific tools and extension schemas (e.g., Key Vault VM extension for Windows, S-channel, CERT_RENEWAL_PROP_ID) are prevalent. The documentation does not provide equivalent Linux/macOS automation examples (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform SDKs), nor does it mention Linux-specific certificate management patterns or VM extensions. Windows terminology and mechanisms are introduced before any cross-platform alternatives, and some features (like certificate linking) are explicitly described as Windows-only, but without guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add automation examples using Bash and Azure CLI for certificate enrollment and management, alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify which mechanisms (e.g., Key Vault VM extension, certificate linking) are Windows-only and provide Linux/macOS alternatives or workarounds where possible.
- Reference and link to Linux-specific documentation for Service Fabric clusters, especially for certificate provisioning and rotation.
- Explicitly state platform limitations for features that are not available on Linux/macOS, and suggest supported cross-platform approaches (e.g., using Azure CLI, REST API, or SDKs).
- Include notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, outlining differences in certificate storage, access control, and automation.
