Chapter 2. .NET Overview

.NET is a general-purpose, modular, cross-platform, and open source implementation of .NET. It features automatic memory management and modern programming languages, allowing you to build high-quality applications efficiently.

.NET 10.0 is available on RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.7, RHEL 10.1 and later.

.NET 10.0 is a Long Term Support release and reaches end of support after approximately 3 years. For more information, see the Life Cycle and Support Policies for the .NET Program.

With .NET, you can:

  • Follow a microservices-based approach, building some components with .NET and others with languages like Java or JavaScript. All components can run on a common, supported platform on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
  • Develop new .NET workloads on Microsoft Windows and then deploy and run those workloads on either Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Windows Server.
  • Run .NET applications in a heterogeneous data center, where the underlying infrastructure does not need to rely solely on Windows Server.
