Differences between Service Fabric on Linux and Windows

  • Article

There are some features that are supported on Windows, but not yet on Linux. Eventually, the feature sets will be at parity and with each release this feature gap will shrink. The following differences exist between the latest available releases.

  • Envoy (Reverse Proxy) is in preview on Linux
  • Standalone installer for Linux is not yet available on Linux
  • Console redirection (not supported in Linux or Windows production clusters)
  • The Fault Analysis Service (FAS) on Linux
  • DNS service for Service Fabric services (DNS service is supported for containers on Linux)
  • CLI command equivalents of certain PowerShell commands (list below, most of which apply only to standalone clusters)
  • Differences in log implementation that may affect scalability
  • Difference in Service Fabric Events Channel
