Description

@richlander

We need to publish a document that covers several acquisition topics as a result of #9671.

Boils down to two key questions:

  • What are the best and simplest ways to acquire .NET?
  • What are the best patterns to use for users that want a high availability solution?

Ideally there are docs and sample code for each approach.

There will naturally be detailed questions, particularly for folks wanting a high-availability solution:

  • Which domains to use?
  • What should users do if those domains are down (AKA fallback)?
  • Who should the following be used: Direct links, releases JSON, and short links?
  • How should Visual Studio CDN best be used? Only via releases JSON by hard-coding links, or some other way?
  • Is there a way to know the status of the various .NET download servers?

What else?
