Summary
The documentation page for the Service Fabric application lifecycle consistently references PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric tooling as primary examples for operational tasks (deploy, upgrade, remove, cleanup). While REST API and .NET SDK methods are mentioned, PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence, and there is little to no mention of Linux/macOS-specific CLI tools (such as sfctl) or shell scripting examples. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who may not have access to PowerShell or may prefer native CLI tools.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/macOS-friendly examples using sfctl and Azure CLI for all operational tasks (deploy, upgrade, remove, cleanup).
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives wherever PowerShell cmdlets are referenced.
  • Reorder examples so that REST API, sfctl, and Azure CLI are presented before or alongside PowerShell, to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Provide sample shell scripts or command lines for common lifecycle operations on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify which tools are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, to help users choose the right approach.
