Running dotnet containers in kubernetes

There are some caveats to running dotnet in containers. You might expect that the docker images you pulled from Microsoft’s container registry were checked for vulnerabilities and prepared to run in a containerized environment. If you’ve gone with defaults and don’t have strict rules on your cluster you’ll have an image configured to run alone on a server (which is not a usual setup in a containerized environment) that is also full of known vulnerabilities even when fresh.

To have a silky smooth start you’ll need any code that affects layout to be included in the first render. Ideally you should fit all HTML and CSS needed by first render within 14KB (search for TCP slow start to dig deeper). Size of images needs to be predetermined so that rendering them won’t affect layout. There shouldn’t be any JS that affect layout either.
