Diagnose the configuration gap between .NET Aspire and Kubernetes by mapping service discovery, connection strings, health checks, secrets, persistent storage, replicas, and OpenTelemetry from the local App Host into production orchestration.
Secure an internal ASP.NET Core API with mutual TLS, Kestrel client-certificate requirements, application-level certificate validation, claim policies, and certificate-aware HttpClient configuration while keeping private keys outside container images.
Integrate a .NET gRPC worker, synthetic message producer, and SQL Server resource with .NET Aspire so service discovery, startup ordering, migrations, health checks, and resilience are verified locally before the same containers move to Kubernetes.
