Deploy install scripts to dotnetcli account

[richlander]

We need to deploy the install scripts so that they are accessible via our CDN.

$ curl -LOv https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh
< HTTP/2 301
< date: Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:16:22 GMT
< server: Kestrel
< location: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/scripts/v1/dotnet-install.sh

After recent experiences, we've realized that our website should not be part of our high availability story for installers (via the install script). The CDN is already necessarily part of that. We should limit moving parts as much as possible.

[mmitche]

Completely agree.

To me this means

• identify a storage bucket to deploy the scripts to
• have pipelines (manually) publish to the bucket
• backend network configuration to point CDNs to the bucket

These things all require access, yes? My team does not currently - we may need help to get these things done on the short term.

[richlander]

That all checks out.

@mmitche @rbhanda @leecow -- can you help with these things?

[mmitche]

I don't have perms to do so, but @rbhanda and @leecow do.

Recommendation for the install script location:

/dotnet/scripts/v1/*

Which would end up being:

builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/scripts/v1/dotnet-install.ps1

[richlander]

That sounds perfect.

https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.ps1 -> https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/scripts/v1/dotnet-install.ps1

[rbhanda]

https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/scripts/v1/dotnet-install.ps1 is now available

[baronfel]

Thanks @rbhanda! I verified that

• dotnet-install.ps1
• dotnet-install.sh
• dotnet-install.sig

are available. However dotnet-install.asc is not. EDIT: it's been uploaded now, thanks!

What resources are being served with the new url, and where are they located? Thinking about what changes to the internal pipelines we'll need to start looking at.

[richlander]

Could you create a new repo MD file that describes the intended production deployment, covering:

• Source of all the files
• Where they are deployed (blob storage and the website)
• Where they can be accessed (CDN and website for compat but not recommended)
• The short links that can be used to access them
• Any guidance on whether we recommend using the short links or if that's just convenience
• How the .sig and .asc files can be used

[baronfel]

All of that content currently lives at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-install-script (which we should update with the new urls once they are fully-prepped).

[richlander]

It is hard to see the trees among the forest in that document. I think we need a terse doc that makes it very clear what our intent is. Also, we don't need to document the website location in docs, but we need to here.

[richlander]

Do you want me to start this doc @baronfel?

[richlander]

This is now complete.
