Cloud-Native Development with .NET and ASP.NET Core

Modern software demands systems that are highly scalable, resilient, and ready for the cloud. This text-based course guides you through the process of developing independently deployable microservices and cloud-native applications. You will transition from writing basic applications to understanding how to package, configure, and connect services for cloud environments. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core principles of cloud-native architecture and microservices. 2. Build lightweight, high-performance web services using ASP.NET Core minimal APIs. 3. Configure containerized applications using Docker for consistent environments. 4. Implement resilient service-to-service communication and service discovery basics. 5. Apply health checks and observability practices to monitor application state. 6. Explore deployment concepts using orchestration tools like Kubernetes. The course begins with foundational definitions of cloud-native systems, followed by step-by-step written explanations of building and containerizing .NET services, progressing to resilience patterns and orchestration. This course is designed for beginner developers who want to transition to cloud-native development; a basic familiarity with C# is helpful, but no prior experience with Docker or Kubernetes is required.
