Summary
The documentation lists Service Fabric cluster settings in a platform-neutral way, but there are signs of Windows bias. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., certificate store names like 'My', references to NTLM, and Windows-specific logging) are prevalent, and Windows-centric configuration patterns (such as X.509 store locations and NTLM authentication) are described without Linux equivalents or with Windows defaults shown first. Some settings mention Windows-only features (e.g., Windows Update integration, Windows log file quotas, NTLM authentication) without clarifying Linux alternatives. Linux-specific settings are present but less visible and often appear after Windows options. There are no explicit Linux configuration examples or guidance for Linux users, and some settings (e.g., certificate management, file store service authentication) are described only in Windows terms.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux configuration examples and guidance, especially for certificate management, authentication, and logging.
  • Clarify which settings are Windows-only and which have Linux equivalents; provide Linux-specific defaults and patterns where appropriate.
  • Where Windows terminology is used (e.g., 'My' certificate store), explain the Linux equivalent or alternative.
  • Ensure Linux-specific features (e.g., LinuxExternalExecutablePath, EnforceLinuxMinTlsVersion) are documented with equal prominence and detail.
  • For authentication and file store service, describe Linux-compatible approaches (e.g., use of PEM files, Linux user accounts) alongside Windows methods.
