.NET Aspire and Semantic Kernel AI
Let's learn how to use the .NET Aspire Azure OpenAI client. We will familiarize ourselves with the Aspire.Azure.AI.OpenAI library, which is used to register an OpenAIClient in the dependency injection (DI) container for consuming Azure OpenAI or OpenAI functionality. In addition, it enables corresponding logging and telemetry.
Using Aspire with gRPC
We start with a simple gRPC application that involves a gRPC server and Blazor client. The gRPC server connects to a SQLite database. To test the sample solution, we must first start the gRPC server app, then start the client app. This is somewhat tedious. By introducing .NET Aspire into the mix, we only need to start one app to get the solution to work. .NET Aspire also gives us many more benefits.
.NET Aspire with VS Code, SQLite & SQL Server
In this Tutorial, we will explore .NET Aspire. At first, we will use it with SQLite. Thereafter, we will modify the solution so that it uses a SQL Server Docker image instead of SQLite. All this is done in a terminal window with the help of VS Code. The objective is to serve those who do not use the higher end Visual Studio 2022 IDE. This exercise works on Windows or Mac.
