With support for OS threads, a built-in thread pool and async tasks, a lot can be going on at the same time in your dotnet program. Fortunately, dotnet also has a wide range of synchronization primitives to keep things under control.

Download URLs

If you want to write scripts or container files that automatically download the dotnet SDK or runtime, you need a URL that can be used to discover download links for various versions and target platforms of dotnet.

Here’s an example URL for .NET 8.

https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release-metadata/8.0/releases.json
