.NET in a Box: Containerizing .NET Applications
summary
Shows concrete steps to package and ship .NET apps: use net publish --publish-container or multistage Dockerfiles, push to Azure Container Registry or Docker Hub, and run a trivy scan before push. Uses AppAT for dependency and cloud-readiness scanning, Dapper for pluggable state/service backends, and GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps build-and-push pipelines plus ACR tasks for remote builds. Demonstrates switching to chiseled/Alpine bases to cut images to ~80 MB, reports Debian runtime had ~92 packages versus ~7 in chiseled, and urges migration to .NET 8 for supported container features.
