Summary
The documentation provides a comprehensive overview of certificate management in Azure Service Fabric clusters, but it exhibits Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell is the only scripting example provided for programmatic certificate enrollment, and references to Windows-specific tools and concepts (such as certificate stores, ACLing, S-channel, and Key Vault VM extension for Windows) are frequent and often precede or exclude Linux equivalents. The Key Vault VM extension is described primarily in its Windows context, and there is no mention of Linux-specific certificate provisioning mechanisms or examples. While the JSON ARM templates are cross-platform, operational guidance and troubleshooting are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for certificate provisioning and management, such as using Azure CLI or Bash scripts instead of only PowerShell.
- Document the Key Vault VM extension for Linux, including its schema, behaviors, and any differences from the Windows extension.
- Provide guidance for certificate store locations and access control on Linux nodes, including how Service Fabric handles certificates on Linux.
- Include troubleshooting steps and FAQ entries relevant to Linux environments.
- Ensure that scripting and automation examples are available in both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI.
- Clarify which features or steps are Windows-only and provide Linux alternatives where possible.
