Summary
The documentation provides a broad overview of Azure Service Fabric, which is a cross-platform technology. However, there are several areas where Windows-specific tools, services, and patterns are mentioned first or exclusively, such as references to Windows services (FabricHost.exe), PowerShell cmdlets, and standalone cluster creation only for Windows. Linux equivalents are sometimes missing or mentioned later. This creates friction for Linux users, especially in cluster management and lifecycle operations.
Recommendations
- Ensure that CLI (sfctl) examples and references are given equal prominence to PowerShell, especially in lifecycle and health monitoring sections.
- Add explicit Linux examples and instructions where only Windows or PowerShell are mentioned, such as cluster creation, management, and scaling.
- Clarify which features are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, ideally with side-by-side comparison tables.
- Provide links to Linux-specific documentation and tools in 'Next steps' and throughout the page.
- Mention Linux container support and Java programming model earlier, alongside Windows/.NET references.
