How to Deploy .NET 8's New .NET Aspire Stack

Hello everybody, I'm Nick, and in this video, I will show you how you can deploy .NET Aspire applications to the cloud. .NET Aspire launched with the release of .NET 8 and C# 12 and it is one of the most exciting features of the release. In this video, we will use Azure, but in future videos, we will see other cloud platforms.

What I hope to see is something that generates plain k8s manifests or even just a docker-compose file.

In the previous video, there was a good question. In this example, frontend and web api apps are in the same solution. Generally, our distributed apps are in different repos. How will Aspire handle it? Also, in the production environment, how will we manage env variables, such as database, caching, external resources' base URLs, etc? If you prepare a new video about it, I would be grateful.

I am interested in this but my scenarios are way more complex (databases, Azure Functions, storage accounts, key vaults, and service bus). It would be interesting to see if this can handle a real enterprise application.

Alresdy liked. I know this will be a great one yet again

I feel like this is one of those things that makes normally straightforward things even easier and normally complicated things next to impossible. What if I want to use partially our Azure dev env deployed services and other resources and partially my local debug session? What if I have some of my microservices in non-dotnet containers (and I do)?

This is great if you have a typical tutorial-level dotnet-to-dotnet microservice architecture, separated by bounding contexts or whatever bs, overengineered from the get go.

Many thanks! How does the authorization with AAD work for aspire?

Does look very interesting, I'm starting out on a new project and this is something I could potentially use.

One question I have around Redis in this particular example, with regular Redis as a service in Azure, you choose and pay for the size of the cache you want i.e. the amount of memory. I'm wondering how that will work with Redis as a container app, what will the size of the memory cache be and how will they charge your for that?

Hi @nickchapsas, a question related to dometrain courses. Do they give any certificate or something that I can attach to my linkedin profile as proof of completition? If not, could that be a feature

Hello Nick! Thanks for the introduction and the deployment vid for aspire. I have 1 question that i cant get my head around. In the video example u deploy a stage env (example). How do u work with configuration for lets say a prod env as well? Can find a way to map connection strings to db etc when deployment is done and container app is created. Maby its more of a azure question but still confusing. With just container registry and web apps its super easy.

[lordicemaniac]

is there way to quickly switch some of the projects to be used from deployed apps? for example you have some micro services and you want aspire to use those already deployed instead running them locally

[tarsala]

It's only the beginning and still it's kind of impressive. Can't wait to see when it develops further.

[gupnsvz]

Great video. Please create more about how deploy real application and open it to world..

[jscraftsman]

Can you provide an example for the "executables" the official microsoft docs and other resources I found only has examples for .NET Projects and Containers. I can't find any for executables.

I was wondering if a "Unity Server Build" can be used there.

How we can wire different microservices together in Aspire if they live in the different repositories in the GIT ?

[HOANGTRINHHUU-lqin]

This is interesting. How much will it cost to host sample aspire weather forecast on azure for a month? I see the template generates alot of resources. Just want to know minium $$$ I have to pay for all of this cool and shinny stuffs compare to old fashion ways.

0:15 : could you please add the link of referenced videos at the description section in your upcoming videos? it would be much more useful resource, especially in the future ;).

Seeing a lot about Aspire relating to Azure and Kubernettes but would love to see a video showing how to deploy it in docker using something like Coolify, CapRover, Railway or similar.

[pilotboba]

The main problems I see, or maybe not a problem is my company already has observability tools. Perhaps it can plug into them instead. Like telegraf for metrics, and sumo logic for open telemetry, and grafana for dashboards. How hard would it be to configure things to work with those services?

[RenanDuarteHB]

is possible to deploy to a locall web server IIS ?

[sgllrvr]

How we can use Tracing for .NET framework web API ? Aspire or any open telemetry ?
