Summary
The documentation lists Service Fabric cluster settings in a platform-neutral way, but there are several signs of Windows bias. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., certificate store names like 'My', NTLM authentication, references to Windows-specific features like Windows Update, and default paths like d:\svcfab) are prevalent throughout. Some settings and defaults are described primarily in Windows terms, with Linux equivalents either omitted or mentioned secondarily. There are parameters whose guidance is Windows-centric (e.g., references to Windows Defender Firewall, Windows node management, and PowerShell-style paths), and Linux-specific configuration is rarely highlighted or explained in parity. The documentation does not provide Linux/macOS-specific examples or guidance for certificate management, file paths, or service management, even though Service Fabric supports Linux clusters.
Recommendations
  • For each setting that references Windows-specific concepts (e.g., certificate store names, NTLM, Windows Update), add Linux equivalents or clarify platform applicability.
  • Where file paths or store names are mentioned, provide both Windows and Linux examples (e.g., 'My' vs. '/var/lib/waagent').
  • Explicitly document Linux/macOS configuration steps, especially for certificate management, service activation, and file system paths.
  • Add notes or tables indicating which settings are Windows-only, Linux-only, or cross-platform.
  • Include Linux/macOS-focused examples for common configuration scenarios.
