Packaging & Deployment
Prerequisites: Security fundamentals
dotnet publish -c Release -o ./publish
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
COPY . /src
WORKDIR /src
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o /app
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0
COPY --from=build /app .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "MyApp.dll"]
The two-stage build keeps the final image to just the runtime
(not the full SDK), the same pattern used for Java's Spring Boot
deployment. A CI/CD pipeline typically runs dotnet test on every
push, then builds and pushes this image on a merge to the main
branch.
