Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Standalone cluster scenarios are described only for Windows Server, with explicit references to Windows authentication (Kerberos), Windows security, and Windows certificate services. Instructions and links for securing clusters on-premises are exclusively for Windows, with no mention of Linux equivalents or guidance for Linux-based standalone clusters. Windows tools (e.g., MakeCert.exe) are referenced for certificate creation, and Windows terminology (Active Directory, group Managed Service Accounts) is used without Linux alternatives. While Azure-based clusters are described in a platform-neutral way, standalone cluster security is presented as Windows-only.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for securing standalone Service Fabric clusters running on Linux, including certificate management and authentication options.
- Reference Linux-compatible certificate creation tools (e.g., OpenSSL) alongside or instead of Windows tools like MakeCert.exe.
- Clarify whether standalone Linux clusters are supported and, if so, provide links and instructions for their security configuration.
- Include Linux-specific terminology and patterns (e.g., PAM, system users, Linux file permissions) where relevant.
- Ensure that examples and instructions are presented in a platform-neutral order, or provide parallel sections for Windows and Linux.
