Summary
The documentation provides a broad overview of Azure Service Fabric, which supports both Windows and Linux. However, there is notable Windows bias: Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, Visual Studio) are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections, and some examples reference Windows services and executables (e.g., FabricHost.exe) without clarifying Linux equivalents. Standalone cluster creation and upgrade instructions are Windows-only, and Linux standalone clusters are not yet supported, but this is clearly stated. CLI tools are mentioned, but PowerShell is often listed first. There are few explicit Linux examples or parity notes, and Linux-specific workflows are not illustrated.
Recommendations
  • Where possible, provide Linux-specific examples and workflows alongside Windows ones, especially for cluster management, health monitoring, and application lifecycle.
  • Mention Linux CLI tools (sfctl) and Bash usage equally with PowerShell, and avoid listing Windows tools first unless contextually appropriate.
  • Clarify differences in service management between Windows and Linux nodes, including which executables/services are used on Linux.
  • Add links to Linux-focused tutorials and documentation where Windows-only instructions are given.
  • Explicitly note feature parity or limitations for Linux throughout, not just in the standalone cluster section.
