.NET Cloud-native Development: Aspire Build and Deployment Options
Deploying distributed cloud-native applications built with .NET and including all the right instrumentation to enable support can be tricky. This course will teach you how to deploy applications built with Aspire into cloud-based environments.
What you'll learn
Aspire simplifies the local developer experience, and can enable deployments that are consistent in configuration, resilience, healthchecks, logging, metrics, and tracing. In this course, .NET Cloud-native Development: Aspire Build and Deployment Options, you’ll learn to build and deploy your ASP.NET Core apps for first-class stability and supportability. First, you’ll explore building container images. Next, you’ll discover how the Aspire opinions relative to resilience, health checks, configuration, and OpenTelemetry logging, tracing, and metrics can be applied to your deployments. Finally, you’ll learn how to deploy your application into cloud-based environments. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of building and deploying Aspire-based solutions needed to create a stable and easily supportable distributed application for the cloud.
