Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and cross-platform (JSON-based) configuration examples, but there is a notable tendency to present Windows-specific formats (ClusterManifest.xml with <WindowsServer> blocks) and PowerShell commands before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. While standalone (non-Azure) deployments are shown using JSON, the XML examples are explicitly for Windows, and all imperative command-line examples use PowerShell, with no Bash/CLI equivalents. This may create friction for Linux users, especially those running Service Fabric on Linux or in cross-platform environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux configuration examples (e.g., show ClusterManifest.xml for Linux clusters, or clarify if the JSON config is the preferred cross-platform method).
  • Provide Azure CLI or Bash script equivalents for all PowerShell command examples, or clarify if only PowerShell is supported for imperative operations.
  • When showing both XML and JSON, clarify which is for Windows and which is for Linux, and ensure Linux-first or parity in ordering.
  • Where possible, use neutral language and ordering (e.g., 'For Windows, use... For Linux, use...'), and avoid implying Windows is the default unless it is for Service Fabric.
  • If certain features are Windows-only, explicitly state this to avoid confusion.
