We need to publish a document that covers several acquisition topics as a result of https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/9671. Boils down to two key questions: - What are the best and simplest ways to acquire .NET? - What are the best patterns to use for users that want a high availability solution? Ideally there are docs and sample code for each approach. There will naturally be detailed questions, particularly for folks wanting a high-availability solution: - Which domains to use? - What should users do if those domains are down (AKA fallback)? - Who should the following be used: Direct links, releases JSON, and short links? - How should Visual Studio CDN best be used? Only via releases JSON by hard-coding links, or some other way? - Is there a way to know the status of the various .NET download servers? What else?
