Aws-codebuild-docker-images: .NET 5 Release - runtime support

Created on 11 Nov 2020 · 5Comments · Source: aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images

Hi,

I know .NET 5 is not considered a LTS release, but I believe there is pretty significant interest in this particular release to warrant supporting that as a runtime in the codebuild images.

Specifically I believe it's in AWS' interest due to the performance improvents on ARM64, which is already used by large companies running on Graviton 2.

Thoughts?

version update

An available work around is to define your CodeBuild environment as a Docker container and update your CodeBuild project to pull that container as its build environment. This is what we are doing until .NET 5 support is available.

There is a commitment here of support soon https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/net-5-on-aws/#:~:text=.NET%205%20in%20AWS%20CodeBuild%20is%20coming%20soon.

+1 For .net 5 support.
Any update as to when this might be available? (or work-arounds for now - scripting the install of the sdk/runtime in the buildspec doesn't seem to work, it seems to install fine, no errors, but then it doesn't show up in the installed versions list nor does a build work.

We just updated our API to .Net 5 and now our automated code pipeline/code build/code deply process is broken

Our use case is rather simple, but here is an example Dockerfile if you need a starting point

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | bash - && \
    apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y nodejs && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
