README

Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Kubernetes library

Provides extension methods and resource definitions for an Aspire AppHost to configure an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environment.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Aspire shells out to helm upgrade --install to deploy the generated chart and any AddHelmChart(...) releases, and validates the Helm version up front so missing or older installs produce a clear actionable error instead of cryptic flag failures.

Install the package

In your AppHost project, install the Aspire Azure Kubernetes Hosting library with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Kubernetes

Usage example

Then, in the AppHost.cs file of AppHost, add an AKS environment and deploy services to it:

var aks = builder.AddAzureKubernetesEnvironment("aks");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
    .WithComputeEnvironment(aks);
