Summary
The documentation page provides manifest examples for Service Fabric applications, but several elements and examples show a bias toward Windows environments. The startup script is specified as a .bat file (Setup.bat), which is a Windows batch script, and the service executables are .exe files, both of which are Windows-specific. There are no Linux-equivalent examples (such as .sh scripts or ELF binaries), nor is there guidance for Linux users on how to adapt these manifest entries for Linux clusters. Additionally, references to running services as NETWORKSERVICE and local admin accounts are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux service accounts or equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples using Linux-compatible scripts (e.g., Setup.sh) and service executables (e.g., ELF binaries) in the manifest.
  • Add notes or sections explaining how to configure service manifests for Linux clusters, including differences in user accounts, permissions, and startup scripts.
  • Clarify which manifest elements are cross-platform and which require platform-specific configuration, ideally linking to Linux-specific documentation where available.
  • Where Windows-specific accounts (e.g., NETWORKSERVICE) are mentioned, provide Linux equivalents or note their absence.
  • Ensure that references to PowerShell or Windows tools are balanced with Linux CLI or scripting alternatives if relevant.
