View source for Dot NET

.NET 6 is now included in Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) and can be installed with just <code>apt install dotnet6</code>. This change is a major improvement and simplification for Ubuntu users. We’re also releasing .NET with Chiseled Ubuntu Containers, a new small and secure container offering from Canonical. These improvements are the result of a new partnership between Canonical and Microsoft.

Here’s the commands to install the .NET 6 SDK on Ubuntu 22.04:<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
sudo apt update

</syntaxhighlight><syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
sudo apt install dotnet6
</syntaxhighlight>We’re also announcing that .NET 6 is available with Chiseled Ubuntu Containers. Our friends at Canonical have developed a new chisel approach for making ultra-small container images. We’re very excited about it. The Chiseled Ubuntu image is <code>100MB</code> smaller than the Ubuntu images you’ve been using until now!

Here’s the command to pull the new ASP.NET Chiseled image:<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/nightly/aspnet:6.0-jammy-chiseled
</syntaxhighlight>We also updated our dotnetapp and aspnetapp samples so that you can try out .NET with Chiseled Ubuntu Containers.

These new container images significantly improve security posture:

* Ultra-small images (reduced size and attack surface)
* No package manager (avoids a whole class of attacks)
* No shell (avoids a whole class of attacks)
* Non-root (avoids a whole class of attacks)

To top that off, Canonical and Microsoft are committed to working together to ensure that new .NET releases are available with new Ubuntu releases and that they work well together. This includes security updates and secure delivery of container images.

We’re really excited that .NET 6 is available in Ubuntu 22.04 and that Canonical chose to work with us as their launch partner for Chiseled Ubuntu images. This is what Canonical had to say about the project.
