Chapter 1. Availability
The .NET Core 1.0 framework is a general purpose development platform that has several key features many developers find attractive, including automatic memory management and modern programming languages. These features make it easier to build high-quality apps more efficiently. Multiple implementations of .NET Core are available, based on open .NET Standards that specify the fundamentals of the platform.
This availability allows Windows developers to deploy to Red Hat Enterprise Linux without having to learn Red Hat Enterprise Linux and to expand the reach of workloads to Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments. The goal is to provide a safe introduction to a new environment and culture without risk of exposure. Now users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux-based Red Hat products can develop and run .NET Core applications directly on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
The .NET Core component (rh-dotnetcore10) is packaged as a Software Collection (SCL) and is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 in the .NET content set. The RPM is yum installable. Full instructions for installing .NET Core 1.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is available in the .NET Core 1.0 Getting Started Guide.
The .NET Core 1.0 platform is available in S2I-compatible docker-formatted containers and for OpenShift Container Platform. Instructions for using .NET Core 1.0 in containers are available in the .NET Core 1.0 .NET Core 1.0 Getting Started Guide.
