Summary
The documentation page provides detailed step-by-step instructions for scaling Service Fabric clusters, but the manual scaling procedures rely heavily on PowerShell commands (e.g., Disable-ServiceFabricNode, Get-ServiceFabricNode, Remove-ServiceFabricNodeState) without offering equivalent Linux CLI or REST API examples. There is no mention of Service Fabric CLI (sfctl) or bash scripting, and the only command-line examples are Windows PowerShell. This creates friction for Linux users, who must find their own way to perform these operations. Additionally, the documentation references Windows tools first and does not provide parity for Linux environments in critical operational steps.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux instructions using sfctl (Service Fabric CLI) for all PowerShell-based steps, including node disabling, querying, and removal.
- Provide bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell for manual scaling operations.
- Explicitly mention REST API alternatives for cluster management where applicable.
- Clarify which commands are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, and provide links to Linux-specific documentation where available.
- Ensure that all operational guidance (not just cluster creation) is platform-neutral or has Linux parity.
