Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page for the Azure Service Fabric image store connection string shows a moderate Windows/PowerShell bias. It references PowerShell as the primary method for retrieving the cluster manifest and links to a PowerShell-based deployment guide as the next step. There is no mention of Linux/macOS command-line tools (such as Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform SDKs) for these tasks, nor are there examples or guidance for non-Windows environments. The documentation assumes Visual Studio usage for publishing, which is also Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add examples or references for retrieving the cluster manifest using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI or Bash scripts.
  • Include guidance or links for deploying applications to Service Fabric clusters from Linux/macOS environments, such as using Azure CLI, REST API, or cross-platform SDKs.
  • When referencing PowerShell, clarify if the instructions are applicable to PowerShell Core (which is cross-platform) or only to Windows PowerShell.
  • Provide parity in 'Next steps' by including links to non-Windows deployment guides or documentation.

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias. The manifest examples and explanations are based on the 'Windows Server 2016 Container Sample', and references to OS-specific behaviors (such as using 'winver' to get the build version) are Windows-centric. There are no explicit Linux container examples, nor are Linux-specific patterns or commands shown. While some notes mention Linux (e.g., certificate handling), the overall guidance and sample manifests do not provide parity for Linux container deployments on Service Fabric.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux container manifest examples, referencing Linux-based images and configuration differences.
  • Include instructions or notes for obtaining Linux OS build/version information relevant to Service Fabric container compatibility.
  • Clarify which manifest elements or features differ between Windows and Linux container deployments.
  • Where features are cross-platform, provide both Windows and Linux sample values, paths, and commands.
  • Link to Linux container samples in the Azure-Samples repository if available.

🔧 Windows Tools Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation covers both Windows-only (HTTP.sys) and cross-platform (Kestrel) web servers for ASP.NET Core in Service Fabric. However, Windows-specific tools (HTTP.sys, netsh) and patterns are discussed in detail, often before their Linux equivalents. There are explicit notes about HTTP.sys being Windows-only, but Linux-specific guidance and examples are limited. Kestrel, the cross-platform option, is recommended for Linux, but Linux-specific configuration, troubleshooting, or parity notes are missing.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS guidance for Service Fabric scenarios, including any OS-specific configuration steps or troubleshooting.
  • Provide Linux/macOS-specific examples (e.g., file paths, firewall configuration, certificate management for HTTPS with Kestrel).
  • Clarify any limitations or differences for Service Fabric on Linux (e.g., port assignment, endpoint configuration, cluster setup).
  • Mention Linux tools or commands where Windows tools (like netsh) are referenced.
  • Ensure parity in example ordering: present Kestrel (cross-platform) before HTTP.sys (Windows-only) in relevant sections.
