Summary
The documentation provides a general overview of Service Fabric application security, but several sections exhibit Windows bias. Windows-specific features (e.g., Active Directory, gMSA, BitLocker) are mentioned before or without Linux equivalents. Examples and guidance for Linux clusters are sparse or missing, especially regarding disk encryption and user account management. The use of Windows terminology and tools (e.g., NetworkService, BitLocker, gMSA) is more prominent, and Linux-specific instructions are often absent or relegated to TODO comments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux examples for disk encryption (e.g., using Azure Disk Encryption with Linux, or dm-crypt/LUKS).
  • Provide guidance on managing user accounts and security principals for Linux clusters, including relevant Linux account types and group management.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions or references for certificate management and service startup scripts.
  • Ensure parity in examples and mention Linux options alongside Windows options, rather than only in passing or as TODOs.
  • Clarify which features are Windows-only and provide alternative approaches for Linux where possible.
