With the v9 version of Umbraco on .NET 5 due to be launched, this talk explores what infrastructure changes we need to make to switch form hosting sites on Windows using licensed software to using Linux.

Aimed at developers who have been exclusively windows users, we will be exploring in brief how to host Umbraco on a linux environment, the changes to processes required for publishing websites on Linux. We’ll also address using Linux (or Mac) as a development environment for building Umbraco sites with v9.

As part of this we’ll also look at some performance metrics of hosting on Linux vs Hosting on windows - both in terms of raw performance and performance per Euro/Dollar/Pound.

Finally we’ll also touch on the pros and cons of using containers to host Umbraco, both in a development and production environment and what that means for you.

The detail covered will be in broad strokes to fit into 30 minutes, focusing on showing “what” first and then showing “how” later, with supporting demos and code samples, scripts etc on Github.
