Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is used exclusively for command-line examples, and only PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Get-ServiceFabricApplication, Start-ServiceFabricApplicationUpgrade) are shown for performing upgrades. There are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using sfctl or REST APIs). Windows-specific tools and APIs (http.sys, PowerShell) are referenced without mention of cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for Linux users, who must translate the instructions themselves.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using sfctl (the Service Fabric CLI, which is cross-platform) for all PowerShell command examples.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced, also mention or link to REST API documentation or sfctl equivalents.
  • Clarify which features or commands are Windows-only, and provide Linux/macOS alternatives where possible.
  • In sections referencing Windows-specific components (e.g., http.sys), note the Linux/macOS behavior or limitations.
  • Reorder examples or provide parallel examples so that Linux/macOS users are not always second-class.
