Summary
The documentation page for the Service Fabric application lifecycle consistently references PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric tooling throughout all lifecycle phases (deploy, test, upgrade, remove, maintenance). While REST API and .NET methods are also mentioned, PowerShell examples are prominent and often listed before cross-platform alternatives. There is minimal mention of Linux-specific tools or CLI usage (such as sfctl or Azure CLI), and no explicit Linux/macOS examples are provided. The inclusion of PowerShell as the primary automation method and lack of Linux parity creates friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples using sfctl (Service Fabric CLI) and Azure CLI for each lifecycle phase, especially for deployment, upgrade, and removal.
  • Ensure that cross-platform tools are mentioned alongside PowerShell cmdlets, not after or instead of them.
  • Provide sample commands and workflows for Linux/macOS environments, including file management and automation.
  • Clarify which methods and tools are available on Linux clusters and which are Windows-only.
  • Consider reordering examples so that REST API, sfctl, and Azure CLI are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
