Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation presents Service Fabric cluster settings in a platform-neutral way, but several parameters and descriptions reference Windows-specific concepts (e.g., certificate store names like 'MY', store locations like 'LocalMachine', NTLM authentication, and Windows Defender Firewall). Windows terminology and tools are often mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux equivalents less visible or absent. Some settings are described as 'Windows only' without Linux alternatives or guidance. There are also references to Windows-specific behaviors (e.g., 'Windows Fabric Replicator', 'Windows Fabric waits', 'Windows only' log settings) and links to Windows-focused documentation. Linux-specific settings are present but less prominent.
Recommendations
- For parameters referencing Windows concepts (e.g., certificate stores, NTLM, firewall), add explicit Linux equivalents or clarify Linux behavior.
- Where settings are 'Windows only', provide Linux alternatives or note Linux limitations.
- Ensure Linux-specific settings (e.g., X509Folder, LinuxExternalExecutablePath, EnforceLinuxMinTlsVersion) are as prominent as Windows settings.
- Add examples or guidance for Linux cluster configuration and upgrade, not just Windows/Windows Server.
- Review descriptions and guidance to avoid defaulting to Windows terminology when Linux is supported.
