 # .NET Aspire components overview
 
-.NET Aspire components are a curated suite of NuGet packages specifically selected to facilitate the integration of cloud-native applications with prominent services and platforms, including but not limited to Redis and PostgreSQL. Each component furnishes essential cloud-native functionalities through either automatic provisioning or standardized configuration patterns. The .NET Aspire components are categorized into two main groups:
-
-- **.NET Aspire client libraries:** This category comprises a selection of NuGet packages designed to enhance the process of connecting applications to widely-used services such as PostgreSQL databases, Redis caches, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Key Vault, among others.
-
-- **.NET Aspire platform libraries:** These NuGet packages are intended to streamline application integration within specific execution environments. For instance, the Kubernetes library offers features like telemetry enrichment and support for health probes.
