infra-conventions

Docker deployment conventions for .NET Aspire applications include following Dockerfile best practices, managing environment variables, configuring the Aspire AppHost, implementing health checks, and applying security hardening to ensure reproducible builds across development and production environments.

To standardize infrastructure setup, use a deployment checklist covering Dockerfile integrity, environment variable management, Aspire AppHost configuration, health checks, reproducibility, and security hardening. This ensures consistent local development and production deployment across all projects.

Aspire AppHost configuration defines local development setup and production deployment options by standardizing environment variable management, health check implementation, and security hardening. This ensures reproducible builds and consistent deployments across different environments.

These infrastructure conventions assume basic familiarity with .NET, Docker, and Aspire. New developers can use the deployment checklist to ensure correct local environment setup and adherence to established best practices without deep prior infrastructure knowledge.

Security hardening for .NET Docker deployments involves following the infrastructure conventions checklist, which covers Dockerfile integrity, environment variable management, health check implementation, and reproducibility to ensure consistent and secure production environments.

Docker builds differ between environments when infrastructure conventions are not standardized. Applying a checklist covering Dockerfile best practices, environment variable management, Aspire configuration, and health checks ensures reproducible builds and consistent deployments.
