Summary
The documentation for Service Fabric application upgrade demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is used exclusively in code examples, and only Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets like Get-ServiceFabricApplication and Start-ServiceFabricApplicationUpgrade) are mentioned. There are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using sfctl or REST APIs). Additionally, the documentation references Windows-specific components such as http.sys and error messages from the Windows HTTP Server API, without clarifying platform differences or providing Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/macOS examples using sfctl (Service Fabric CLI) or REST API calls alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Clearly state when a feature or limitation is Windows-specific (e.g., http.sys certificate handling).
  • In sections referencing PowerShell, provide a note or link to Linux/macOS instructions.
  • Reorder or parallelize examples so that Linux/macOS and Windows users are equally supported.
  • Include a table or section summarizing tool equivalence (PowerShell vs sfctl vs REST API) for common upgrade operations.
