At .NET Conf 2023, Microsoft announced a new stack set on top of the (also new) .NET 8 (LTS). During this presentation, I dig into what .NET Aspire is made of, and how to build cloud ready apps on it. It may still be in preview for now, something tells me it will become a .NET staple eventually.
During my presentation at Granite State .NET (NH) Developer’s Meetup on April 18th, I recorded the presentation. During the presentation, I unintentionally updated my toolset in the middle of the demo, and pried out the demo demons.

Here’s the related GitHub issue:
[WebToolsE2E][Aspire] For Aspire Starter App projects with redis checked, an error occurs when running ‘azd init’. · Issue #3624 · Azure/azure-dev (github.com)
The solution was to also update AZ and AZD cli tools.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise>winget upgrade Microsoft.Azd
