R
ed Hat, a leading provider of open
source solutions, has announced
that it will support .NET Core 2.0,
the latest version of the open source
.NET Core project, on Red Hat’s portfolio
of open technologies.
A lightweight and modular platform
for creating web applications and
microservices, .NET Core 2.0 provides
significant new developer capabilities
while enabling developers to create .NET
applications across platforms, and deploy
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, and more.
A key addition to the Red Hat Developer
Program, the latest version of .NET Core
supports .NET Standard 2.0, providing
enhanced platform compatibility and
portability across all .NET runtimes and
workloads. It also helps to streamline
application packaging with easier
access to ASP.NET 2.0 and EF Core
2.0, designed to further simplify the
application build process in an all open
source environment.
Additionally, when combined with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and/or Red

the 2.0 release supports C#, F# and
Visual Basic for the creation of modern,
containerised applications.

of the most widely-used development
platforms in the industry and Red Hat,
as a major contributor to the .NET
Core community, is helping to further
expand the reach and capabilities of
the technology.
“By supporting .NET on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, we are able to provide one of
the broadest, supported and fully-open
developer solutions on the market and
offer organisations greater assurance that
they can run .NET workloads on non-
Windows-based systems in production,
backed by Red Hat’s expertise and award-
winning support.”
Red Hat is the only commercial Linux

Platform
• Red Hat OpenShift Online
• Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated

step forward for the .NET Core
community and the developer world
at-large, and we’re very pleased to have
closely collaborated on this new release
with Red Hat.
“We believe that developers will be
pleased to be able to write familiar
.NET code from their platform of
choice, and that operations teams, who
use Red Hat solutions, will enjoy having
the freedom to deploy to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform on-premises or in
Microsoft Azure.”
.NET Core 2.0 will soon be available
