Red Hat Boosts Application Portability Across Hybrid Cloud with .NET Core 2.0
Latest version of open source .NET Core platform brings greater
simplicity to cloud-native application development and deployment across
Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud technologies
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that it will support .NET Core 2.0, the
latest version of the open source .NET Core project, on Red Hat’s
portfolio of open technologies. A lightweight and modular platform for
creating web applications and microservices, .NET Core 2.0 provides
significant new developer capabilities while enabling developers to
create .NET applications across platforms, and deploy on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, and more.
A key addition to the Red Hat Developer Program, the latest version of
.NET Core supports .NET Standard 2.0, providing enhanced platform
compatibility and portability across all .NET runtimes and workloads. It
also helps to streamline application packaging with easier access to
ASP.NET 2.0 and EF Core 2.0, designed to further simplify the
application build process in an all open source environment.
Additionally, when combined with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and/or Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, the 2.0 release supports C#, F# and Visual
Basic for the creation of modern, containerized applications.
Red Hat is the only commercial Linux provider to offer full,
enterprise-grade support for .NET Core across its portfolio. Developers
will be able to use .NET Core 2.0 to develop and deploy supported
applications on:
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host
-
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
-
Red Hat OpenShift Online
-
Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated
-
Red Hat OpenStack Platform
Availability
.NET Core 2.0 will soon be available through various Red Hat products as
RPMs for traditional yum installations or as Linux container images.
