What problem does it solve?

Deploy Aspire apps from AppHost models into capable production targets like Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Azure, and AWS, enabling consistent deployment workflows and governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automates end-to-end deployment from AppHost to target environments (Docker Compose, Kubernetes/AKS, Azure Container Apps, App Service, AKS, and AWS).
Enforces preflight checks, routing decisions, artifact generation, and reference loading to ensure predictable deployments.
Supports operator-focused workflows: list, publish, deploy, destroy, and per-target guidance via references.

Quick Start

Publish the AppHost deployment plan with Aspire and then deploy to the chosen target (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Azure, or AWS).

What is the best way to deploy an Aspire AppHost to Docker Compose?▼

Deploying an Aspire AppHost to Docker Compose is automated by defining the full deployment lifecycle from preflight to artifact generation. It uses AppHost metadata to orchestrate publishing and deploying safely.

Can I deploy .NET Aspire applications to Azure and AWS?▼

Yes, you can deploy .NET Aspire applications to Azure and AWS. The skill supports deploying AppHost models to Azure Container Apps, App Service, AKS, and AWS with consistent workflows and governance.

How do I manage the deployment lifecycle for Aspire apps in the cloud?▼

You manage the deployment lifecycle for Aspire apps using operator-focused workflows like list, publish, deploy, and destroy. It enforces preflight checks, routing decisions, and artifact generation for predictable cloud deployments.

Does Aspire deployment require preflight checks before publishing to cloud targets?▼

Yes, Aspire deployment requires preflight checks before publishing to cloud targets. It enforces these checks and routing decisions to ensure predictable deployments and safe fallbacks during artifact generation.

What are the limitations of using AppHost models for Kubernetes deployment?▼

AppHost models for Kubernetes deployment rely on safe fallbacks and per-target references for predictable deployments. Limitations include dependency on Aspire CLI orchestration and the need for doc-guided workflows to ensure correct artifact generation.
