What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides you through containerizing .NET applications with Docker, solving the challenges of environment inconsistencies and complex deployments. It enables you to package your applications and their dependencies into isolated containers, ensuring they run reliably across any environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Dockerfile Best Practices: Provides optimized Dockerfile templates for .NET applications, including multi-stage builds for smaller image sizes and faster builds.
• Container Orchestration: Introduces concepts for deploying and managing containerized .NET applications using tools like Docker Compose and Kubernetes.
• Environment Configuration: Demonstrates how to manage application configurations and secrets securely within Docker containers.
• Use Case: A DevOps engineer needs to deploy a new ASP.NET Core microservice. Using this skill, they create an optimized Dockerfile, build a lightweight image, and deploy it to a Kubernetes cluster, ensuring consistent behavior from development to production.

Quick Start

Create a Dockerfile for an ASP.NET Core 8.0 application, using a multi-stage build to produce a small, production-ready image.
