Hi,
I'm a very experienced .Net developer that must get up to speed fairly quickly on ASP.NET Core, Docker and Angular - I've been playing around with the VS project template for v 2.1 of the Core SDK and it looks pretty interesting.
But I have questions and one of these is this: At our company (I'm a senior developer) we currently hots lots of web apps/service built with ASP.NET MVC, these are hosted under IIS on our dev, qa and prod server machines, some of these are public facing and others are internal only.
My question is about hosting a ASP.NET Core web app, what are the options? can we host a core app on one of these machines as-is or must we somehow update the server OS to support .Net Core? Should we host the app just like any other or must we host it completely differently? How does Kestrel compare to the base IIS HTTP server? are they completely separate pr do they interact in some way?
Before we can begin to create and roll out new apps using ASP.NET Core I need to establish exactly what we must do to prepare our existing servers to host these app while not negatively impacting existing app.
Info greatly appreciated!
