Summary
The documentation provides a broad overview of Azure Service Fabric, which supports both Windows and Linux. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias in several areas: Windows services and executables (e.g., FabricHost.exe) are described in detail, often before Linux equivalents are mentioned or without Linux-specific details; PowerShell is frequently referenced as a primary management tool, with CLI and REST APIs listed as alternatives; and some examples and links (e.g., standalone cluster creation) are Windows-only, with Linux support explicitly called out as unavailable. Linux is acknowledged, but examples, tooling, and instructions are often Windows-centric or presented first.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for cluster management, service deployment, and health monitoring.
  • Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash, Linux CLI) and workflows equally with PowerShell and Windows tools.
  • Where features are Windows-only, clearly label them as such and provide alternative guidance or links for Linux users.
  • Ensure that links to getting started, tutorials, and samples include Linux options where available.
  • Consider reordering sections so that Linux and Windows are presented with equal prominence, or explicitly state platform applicability at the start of each section.
