Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and Visual Studio workflows. All examples and instructions reference Visual Studio features (Build/Rebuild/F5/Ctrl+F5/Publish), and PowerShell is mentioned as the only CLI example for service creation. There is no mention of Linux/macOS tooling, nor are cross-platform alternatives (such as Azure CLI, SFCTL, or VS Code) discussed. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may use Service Fabric in non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit notes clarifying that StartupServices.xml is only supported for Visual Studio deployments on Windows.
  • Provide alternative instructions or links for Linux/macOS users, such as using ARM templates, Azure CLI, or SFCTL for service deployment and configuration.
  • Mention that the Visual Studio workflow is Windows-only and suggest cross-platform development environments (e.g., VS Code) for non-Windows users, with guidance on how to manage service configuration in those contexts.
  • Include examples of deploying Service Fabric applications using non-Windows tools where possible.
