Technical requirements
For the recipes in this chapter, you’ll need the following:
- .NET 9 SDK: The recipes in this chapter are written using .NET 9 features and the latest version of .NET Aspire
- Azure Subscription: A free trial subscription will work for following along with the Azure-related recipes
- Azure CLI: Required for managing Azure resources from the command line
- Docker Desktop: Needed for the Prometheus integration recipe
- Development HTTPS Certificate: You’ll need to create this using the
dotnet dev-certs
command, which we’ll cover in the recipes
Note that while many recipes can be followed using the free tier of Azure services, you will need to provide billing information to create an Azure account. The Azure Maps service used in the first recipe offers a free tier with 5,000 requests per month.
