Summary
The documentation provides comprehensive coverage of both Kestrel (cross-platform) and HTTP.sys (Windows-only) web servers for ASP.NET Core integration with Azure Service Fabric Reliable Services. However, there is a notable Windows bias in several areas: HTTP.sys (a Windows-only technology) is discussed in depth, with explicit mention of Windows-specific tools (netsh), kernel drivers, and endpoint configuration. Windows-specific details and examples (such as HTTP.sys usage and endpoint registration) are presented before Linux equivalents, and Windows tools are referenced without Linux alternatives. While Kestrel is recommended for Linux and cross-platform scenarios, the documentation sometimes leads with Windows-centric approaches and does not always clarify Linux-specific setup or troubleshooting. There are no PowerShell scripts or commands, but the use of Windows tools and APIs is prominent.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux/macOS users are explicitly guided on how to configure endpoints and ports for Kestrel, including any OS-specific firewall or networking considerations.
  • When referencing Windows tools (such as netsh), provide a note or alternative for Linux/macOS users, or clarify that these steps are not required for Kestrel.
  • Consider reorganizing sections so that cross-platform solutions (Kestrel) are discussed before Windows-only solutions (HTTP.sys), or clearly mark Windows-only content.
  • Add troubleshooting tips or common issues for Linux/macOS users running Service Fabric Reliable Services with ASP.NET Core.
  • Explicitly state which features or examples are Windows-only, and which are cross-platform, to avoid confusion.
