Summary
The documentation provides comprehensive coverage of both Kestrel (cross-platform) and HTTP.sys (Windows-only) web servers for ASP.NET Core integration with Azure Service Fabric. However, there is a notable Windows bias in several areas: HTTP.sys (a Windows-only technology) is discussed in detail and presented first in some sections, with explicit mention that it only works on Windows. There are no explicit Linux/macOS-specific examples or troubleshooting notes, and some configuration patterns (such as Endpoint registration and port sharing) are described primarily in the context of Windows tools and APIs (e.g., netsh, HTTP.sys kernel driver). While Kestrel is recommended for cross-platform scenarios, Linux users may find the documentation less tailored to their environment, especially regarding ServiceManifest.xml configuration, port management, and deployment nuances.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for ServiceManifest.xml configuration, deployment, and troubleshooting (e.g., how to manage ports and firewall rules on Linux nodes).
  • Clearly separate Windows-only sections (HTTP.sys) from cross-platform guidance, and consider presenting Kestrel (cross-platform) examples before HTTP.sys (Windows-only) examples.
  • Include notes or links to Linux/macOS-specific Service Fabric documentation, especially for common tasks like endpoint configuration, port assignment, and debugging.
  • Where Windows tools (e.g., netsh) are mentioned, provide Linux/macOS equivalents or clarify that these steps are not required on non-Windows platforms.
