Microsoft .NET Core 3.0 - Windows Server Hosting

Microsoft .NET Core 3.0 - Windows Server Hosting is a Windows metapackage for preparing a system to host .NET Core web and server applications. It gathers the components required for this hosting role into one installation. .NET Core is a general-purpose development platform maintained by Microsoft and the .NET community on GitHub.

The package installs the .NET Core runtime, which provides the foundation for running .NET Core applications. It also installs the ASP.NET Core runtime for applications built with ASP.NET Core. In addition, it includes ASP.NET Core Module v2 for IIS, connecting ASP.NET Core applications with the IIS web server. These components define the package's role as a server-hosting installation rather than a general development environment.

This software is intended for people running .NET Core web or server applications on Windows systems. It is relevant to server administrators and application operators who need the runtime components required by those applications. The broader .NET Core platform also supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as device, cloud, and embedded or IoT scenarios, but this package specifically targets hosting on Windows.
