.NET 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 8.0 is available on RHEL 8.9 and later, RHEL 9.3 and later.

.NET 8.0 is a Long Term Support (LTS) release. LTS releases releases reach End of Support after around 3 years. For more information, see the Life Cycle and Support Policies for the .NET Program.

.NET offers:

  • The ability to follow a microservices-based approach, where some components are built with .NET and others with Java or JavaScript, but all can run on a common, supported platform in RHEL.
  • The capacity to more easily develop new .NET workloads on Microsoft Windows. You can deploy and run on either RHEL or Windows Server.
  • A heterogeneous data center, where the underlying infrastructure is capable of running .NET applications without having to rely solely on Windows Server.
