Summary
The documentation page for Service Fabric application upgrades demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is the only command-line example provided, and all upgrade tooling references (e.g., Get-ServiceFabricApplication, Start-ServiceFabricApplicationUpgrade, Update-ServiceFabricService) are PowerShell cmdlets. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using the Service Fabric CLI (sfctl) or REST APIs. The documentation also references Windows-specific components (e.g., http.sys) without clarifying platform differences or alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using the Service Fabric CLI (sfctl), which is cross-platform, alongside or instead of PowerShell examples.
  • Mention REST API options for application upgrades, which are platform-agnostic.
  • Clarify when features or errors (such as http.sys certificate handling) are specific to Windows, and provide Linux/macOS alternatives or caveats where applicable.
  • In the 'Next steps' section, include links to tutorials or guides for Linux/macOS users, such as 'Upgrading your Application Using sfctl'.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced, add a note or table mapping to equivalent sfctl commands.
