Aspir8

Aspir8 is a tool created by the .NET community that handles the generation of deployment YAML based on the app host manifest.

To install:

dotnet tool install -g aspirate --prerelease

To update:

dotnet tool update -g aspirate --prerelease

If we navigate to our earlier example of Walkthrough.AppHost we can try to generate our .yaml.

cd Walkthrough.AppHost && aspirate generate

After answering the questions from the CLI it should generate several folders with the necessary yaml.

We can additionally run the kubernetes cluster by running

aspirate run

And the following should be visible in Docker Desktop or wherever you are running you’re running your cluster.
