Summary
The documentation provides a comprehensive overview of certificate management in Azure Service Fabric clusters, but exhibits a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is the only scripting example shown for programmatic certificate enrollment, and references to Windows-specific mechanisms (such as S-channel, ACLing, and Key Vault VM extension for Windows) are prominent. The Key Vault VM extension is described primarily in its Windows context, and the linking feature is explicitly stated as 'Only Windows.' Linux equivalents (such as Linux VM extensions, CLI, or bash scripting) are not mentioned, and Windows-centric terminology and examples appear first or exclusively.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for scripting and automation, such as Azure CLI or bash examples for certificate enrollment and management.
- Reference and link to the Key Vault VM extension for Linux documentation, and clarify differences in behavior or configuration.
- Discuss certificate provisioning and ACLing in the context of Linux nodes (e.g., file permissions, certificate stores), especially for clusters that may run on Linux VMSS.
- Where Windows-specific features (like S-channel or CERT_RENEWAL_PROP_ID) are discussed, explicitly note their absence or alternatives on Linux.
- Balance example order so that Linux/macOS approaches are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones where applicable.
