Red Hat SummitChapter 2. .NET Core overview
.NET Core is a general purpose, modular, cross-platform, and open source implementation of .NET that features automatic memory management and modern programming languages. It allows users to build high-quality applications efficiently. .NET Core is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 and RHEL 8.
This release of .NET Core is a long-term supported (LTS) release. For more information, see the Life Cycle and Support Policies for the .NET Core Program.

- A heterogeneous data center, where the underlying infrastructure is capable of running .NET applications without having to rely solely on Windows Server.
The major .NET Core components that can be used together or separately include:
