Chapter 2. .NET Core Overview
The .NET Core platform is a general purpose development platform featuring automatic memory management and modern programming languages. It allows users to build high-quality applications efficiently. The .NET Core platform is available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 7) and OpenShift Container Platform via certified containers.
The .NET Core platform offers:
- the ability to follow a microservices-based approach, where some components are built with .NET and others with Java, but all can run on a common, supported platform in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift Container Platform.
- the capacity to more easily develop new .NET Core workloads on Microsoft Windows. Customers can deploy and run on either Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Windows Server.
- a heterogeneous datacenter, where the underlying infrastructure is capable of running .NET applications without having to rely solely on Windows Server.
- access to many of the popular development frameworks, such as .NET, Java, Ruby, and Python from within OpenShift Container Platform.
