Summary
The documentation provides certificate management guidance for Service Fabric clusters on Azure, with a strong emphasis on Windows-centric tooling and patterns. PowerShell is the only scripting language shown for programmatic certificate enrollment, and references to Windows-specific features (such as S-channel, certificate store locations, and Key Vault VM extension for Windows) are prevalent. The documentation does not provide equivalent Linux/bash examples or discuss Linux-specific certificate handling, which may create friction for users deploying Service Fabric clusters on Linux nodes or managing certificates from non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Include bash/CLI examples for certificate enrollment and management alongside PowerShell scripts.
- Clarify which steps and tooling are applicable to Linux-based Service Fabric clusters, and provide explicit Linux guidance where possible.
- Reference the Key Vault VM extension for Linux (if available) or alternative mechanisms for Linux VMs, and link to relevant documentation.
- Discuss certificate store locations and access control for Linux nodes, not just Windows certificate stores.
- Where Windows-specific features (e.g., S-channel, CERT_RENEWAL_PROP_ID) are discussed, note their applicability and provide Linux alternatives or caveats.
