CoreOS vs .NET: What are the differences?
What is CoreOS? Linux for Massive Server Deployments. CoreOS is designed for security, consistency, and reliability. Instead of installing packages via yum or apt, CoreOS uses Linux containers to manage your services at a higher level of abstraction. A single service's code and all dependencies are packaged within a container that can be run on one or many CoreOS machines.
What is .NET? A free, cross-platform, open source developer platform for building many different types of applications. .NET is a general purpose development platform. With .NET, you can use multiple languages, editors, and libraries to build native applications for web, mobile, desktop, gaming, and IoT for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and more.
CoreOS can be classified as a tool in the "Operating Systems" category, while .NET is grouped under "Frameworks (Full Stack)".
"Container management" is the top reason why over 18 developers like CoreOS, while over 243 developers mention "Tight integration with visual studio" as the leading cause for choosing .NET.
.NET is an open source tool with 11K GitHub stars and 2.37K GitHub forks. Here's a link to .NET's open source repository on GitHub.
Microsoft, Ducksboard, and Stack Exchange are some of the popular companies that use .NET, whereas CoreOS is used by Decision6, SoFi, and Instamojo. .NET has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1561 company stacks & 231 developers stacks; compared to CoreOS, which is listed in 45 company stacks and 12 developer stacks.
Decided to change all my stack to microsoft technologies for they behave just great together. It is very easy to set up and deploy projects using visual studio and azure. Visual studio is also an amazing IDE, if not the best, when used for C#, it allows you to work in every aspect of your software.
Visual studio templates for ASP.NET MVC are the best I've found compared to django, rails, laravel, and others.
