Summary
The documentation provides a broad overview of Azure Service Fabric, covering both Windows and Linux support. However, there are several instances of Windows bias: Windows-specific tools and processes (e.g., PowerShell, Visual Studio, Windows services) are mentioned first or exclusively in some sections, and examples or instructions for Linux users are often missing or less prominent. The documentation references Windows services and executables (FabricHost.exe, Fabric.exe, FabricGateway.exe) without clarifying Linux equivalents or processes. Standalone cluster creation is described only for Windows, with Linux standalone clusters explicitly noted as unsupported. In lifecycle management and health monitoring, PowerShell and Windows-centric tools are listed before CLI or cross-platform options.
Recommendations
  • Where possible, provide Linux-specific instructions, examples, and tool references alongside Windows ones.
  • Clarify Linux equivalents for Windows services and executables, or note differences in architecture/processes.
  • Ensure CLI and cross-platform tools are presented equally or before Windows-only tools like PowerShell.
  • Add explicit guidance or links for Linux cluster creation and management, even if only to clarify current limitations.
  • Highlight differences and parity between Windows and Linux throughout, referencing the differences documentation as needed.
