.NET Platform Invoke (PInvoke) makes it easy to consume native libraries. This article describes how to use PInvoke for Linux system functions.

How to deploy a NuGet server as a caching server on Red Hat OpenShift to speed up builds and host private packages. It also explains some general NuGet concepts and why it makes sense to use a local NuGet server.

This article describes how to build .NET Core container images using source-to-image (S2I). The container images can be built directly from a git repository, from local sources, or from a pre-built application on, which can be useful on your development machine or as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

.Use .NET APIs to portably locate special folders (app and user data/confgiuration) in your cross-platform applications. The Linux behaviour of these APIs are demonstrated.

This post describes how to secure ASP.NET Core applications on OpenShift using HTTPS for two use-cases: terminating SSL in OpenShift for public routes and terminating SSL in ASP.NET Core directly using OpenShift-generated service certificates.

This article shows how set up Microsoft SQL Server on Red Hat OpenShift and then use SQL Server to store data for a simple ASP.NET Core application running in a container deployed on OpenShift that manages a list of contacts. It also shows how to manage SQL Server within OpenShift using SQL Operation Studio.

Kestrel, the web server in the .NET Core, supports replacing the network layer. This article benchmarks Kestrel’s networking layer with a Linux-specific implementation to achieve measurable performance gains compared to the out-the-box implementation.

Containers are the new way of deploying applications. They are an efficient way to portably deploy applications across clouds and different OSes.This article looks at what OpenShift brings for .NET Core specifically and how OpenShift provides a DevOps platform on top of Kubernetes for building and deploying apps.
