Chapter 2. .NET Core Overview
.NET Core is a general purpose, modular, cross-platform, and open source implementation of .NET that features automatic memory management and modern programming languages. It allows users to build high-quality applications efficiently. .NET Core is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.
This release improves build, runtime, and networking performance. It includes a new way of deploying tools as NuGet Packages. There are many new APIs, focused on reducing allocations, cryptography, and compression. This release also reduces platform differences between Windows and Linux.
.NET Core 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 RHEL.
- the capacity to more easily develop new .NET Core workloads on Microsoft Windows. Customers can deploy and run on either RHEL or Windows Server.
- a heterogeneous data center, where the underlying infrastructure is capable of running .NET applications without having to rely solely on Windows Server.
The major .NET Core components that can be used together or separately include:
