Summary
The documentation page for configuring periodic backups in Azure Service Fabric shows evidence of Windows bias, primarily in the 'File share' backup storage section. Only Windows-style UNC paths (\\StorageServer\BackupStore) and Integrated Windows Authentication are described, with no mention of Linux-compatible file share options (such as NFS, SMB mounting on Linux, or cross-platform authentication patterns). The examples and instructions for file share access are Windows-centric, and there is no guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to configure or access file shares for backup storage. Additionally, Windows authentication methods are presented first and exclusively, without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add documentation for configuring file share backup storage using Linux/macOS nodes, including supported protocols (e.g., NFS, SMB) and authentication methods.
  • Provide examples of mounting and accessing file shares from Linux-based Service Fabric clusters, including sample paths and credential handling.
  • Clarify whether Linux clusters can use the file share backup option, and if so, provide parity in instructions for both platforms.
  • If file share backup is Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation to avoid confusion for Linux users.
