Frequently asked questions

Basic familiarity with Docker is helpful, but the course introduces containerization concepts before progressing to multi-container applications and cloud deployment.

An Azure account is recommended to complete the cloud deployment demonstrations. A free Azure account or trial subscription can be used to follow along.

.NET Aspire is a cloud-native application framework that simplifies building, orchestrating, and managing distributed .NET applications with built-in service discovery, resilience, and observability.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.
