SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables the creation of highly optimized, self-contained .NET applications that run without the need for a pre-installed .NET runtime, significantly reducing deployment size and improving startup performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Native AOT Compilation: Compiles .NET code directly to native machine code for maximum performance and minimal footprint.
  • Size Optimization: Provides techniques to drastically reduce the final binary size, making deployments more efficient.
  • Use Case: Deploying a high-performance backend service or a desktop application where startup time and resource usage are critical, ensuring a seamless user experience without runtime dependencies.

Quick Start

Publish your .NET 8+ application as a Native AOT executable for Linux x64.

FAQPage Schema
How do I publish .NET apps as self-contained native binaries?

To publish .NET apps as self-contained native binaries, configure MSBuild with PublishAot for .NET 8+ to compile IL code directly into optimized native machine code eliminating runtime dependencies.

What's the best way to reduce .NET Native AOT binary size?

The best way to reduce .NET Native AOT binary size involves applying techniques like symbol stripping and invariant globalization alongside ILLink descriptors to preserve only necessary types.

Does ASP.NET Core Minimal API work with Native AOT compilation?

Yes, ASP.NET Core Minimal API supports Native AOT compilation allowing you to deploy high-performance backend services with optimized startup times and minimal footprints.

Can I use P/Invoke marshalling in .NET Native AOT deployments?

Yes, you can use P/Invoke marshalling in .NET Native AOT deployments by utilizing LibraryImport to efficiently call native libraries within your compiled self-contained executables.

How do I deploy .NET Native AOT executables in containers?

Deploy .NET Native AOT executables in containers by utilizing runtime-deps container images which provide the necessary self-contained environment for running optimized native binaries.

When should I not use Native AOT compilation for .NET applications?

You should avoid Native AOT compilation when your application relies heavily on dynamic runtime features requiring reflection or dynamic loading that cannot be statically analyzed or preserved using ILLink descriptors.
