Ease of deployment

With .NET Core, you can install different versions side-by-side, a feature that is not available when using .NET Framework. With the side by side installation of .NET Core, several applications can be installed on a single server, enabling each application to run on its own version of .NET Core. Lately, there has been a lot of attention focused on containers and application containerization. Containers are used for creating standalone packages of software applications, including the runtimes needed to make the applications run in isolation, away from other applications on a shared operating system. Containerizing .NET applications is much better when .NET Core is used as the development platform. This is because of its cross-platform support, thereby allowing deployment of applications to containers of different operating systems. Also, the container images created with .NET Core are smaller and more lightweight.
