Is .net core(dnxcore50) available on Azure web apps? I can only see 3.5/4.6 available in the app settings menu. I mean not officially(as it is rc now) but for testing purposes. Thanks.

  • I didn't think dnxcore needed to be installed on the server. All you need is the `HttpPlatformHandler` installed on IIS. My understanding is that the HttpPlatformHandler has been installed for Azure websites. – Gary.S Nov 27 '15 at 23:48

Yes, it is available. You can deploy an ASP.NET 5 CoreCLR based application to Azure Websites. Even Platform Handler is available.

If you're using VS2015 then you can simply publish from VS.

Main .net core feature it's it doesn't require installing on server. We can simply copy it with your application.

quote from docs.asp.net:

One of the key benefits of .NET Core is its portability. You can package and deploy the CoreCLR with your application, eliminating your application’s dependency on an installed version of .NET (e.g. .NET Framework on Windows). You can host multiple applications side-by-side using different versions of the CoreCLR, and upgrade them individually, rather than being forced to upgrade all of them simultaneously.
