Maybe not now, but this is a move for the future so that .Net can survive in a world dominated by Linux. The second it's actually possible to ditch Windows and run my apps on Linux in production Windows will be banished from my datacenter. .Net is awesome, Windows sucks, I want .Net on Linux.
- dcveloper 10y agoI'm keeping it on my radar due to cost differences in AWS. A .net web app using 4 EC2 m3.xlarge instances (2 front ends per AZ) would save over $6000 per year in hosting if using Linux AMI versus Windows.
- gnaritas 10y agoYes, the Windows tax is not cheap, nor are they nearly as easy to clone and manage in a virtual environment. Linux is simply a superior server in virtually every conceivable way but most especially financially.
