Chapter 1. Introducing .NET 9.0
.NET is a general-purpose development platform featuring automatic memory management and modern programming languages. Using .NET, you can build high-quality applications efficiently. .NET is available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and OpenShift Container Platform through certified containers.
.NET offers the following features:
- The ability to follow a microservices-based approach, where some components are built with .NET and others with Java, but all can run on a common, supported platform on RHEL and OpenShift Container Platform.
- The capacity to more easily develop new .NET workloads on Microsoft Windows. You can deploy and run your applications 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.
