Honestly if you are deploying an application to production, hopefully you have a level of knowledge beyond "click here, then click here'.

The other side of this is that documentation is hard, and Microsoft documentation is frequently lacking or out of date, especially for anything off the beaten path. I use IoT Hub for messaging, and it's documentation is scant, many limitations and failure modes are found by trial and error.



I don't understand where you would get this info from then? Tutorials provided by the framework makers themselves are pretty standard.

Magically absorb the knowledge in an incantation to the Redmond Gods in the ether?


haha, sometimes it feels that way, for their less-popular commercial services documentation is lacking and you can't even read the source!

On reflection my comment about level of skill is unfair, what I should have said is: generally the information is there, but it's not always in the form of follow-able 'How-to' guides, often it's a dry detailed documentation. If you need something other than the standard setup, it is up to you to know what you are looking for and put 2 and 2 together. Of course it is by no means easy.

They do have reasonable guidance on how to deploy ASP.net core on Linux, but it can be lacking for lesser used stuff
