Summary
The documentation provides a broad overview of Azure Service Fabric, which supports both Windows and Linux. However, there is a notable Windows bias: Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, Visual Studio) are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and examples or instructions for Linux are often missing or less prominent. Standalone cluster creation is described only for Windows, with Linux standalone clusters explicitly not supported. References to Windows services and executables (FabricHost.exe, etc.) are frequent, and PowerShell is often listed first among management tools. Linux support is acknowledged, but practical parity in examples and guidance is lacking.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux examples and instructions wherever Windows-specific steps are described (e.g., cluster creation, management, scaling).
  • Mention Linux CLI tools (e.g., sfctl) and bash scripting alongside PowerShell, and provide sample commands for both platforms.
  • Clarify when features are Windows-only and provide alternative guidance for Linux users where possible.
  • Highlight Linux support earlier in relevant sections, and ensure that Linux users are guided to appropriate resources.
  • Provide links to Linux-specific tutorials and troubleshooting guides.
