Summary
The documentation page provides a comprehensive overview of certificate management in Azure Service Fabric clusters. However, there is a notable Windows bias: PowerShell is the only scripting example provided for certificate enrollment, and the Key Vault VM extension is discussed exclusively in its Windows variant. The documentation references Windows-specific certificate store concepts (e.g., 'LocalMachine', 'MY'), and the linking-on-renewal feature is described as 'Only Windows'. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples or guidance for equivalent certificate provisioning or automation, and Windows terminology/tools are used throughout, often without mentioning Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add CLI/bash examples for certificate enrollment and provisioning, using Azure CLI or REST API, to complement PowerShell scripts.
- Document the Key Vault VM extension for Linux (if available), or clarify limitations and provide Linux-specific guidance for certificate provisioning.
- Include references to Linux certificate stores (e.g., /etc/ssl/certs) and explain how Service Fabric clusters on Linux nodes should manage certificates.
- Where Windows-specific features (like linking-on-renewal) are discussed, explicitly state Linux/macOS limitations or alternatives.
- Ensure that JSON ARM templates and deployment steps are annotated for cross-platform applicability, noting any OS-specific requirements.
