PI AF SDK Linux Support

As we know there are 2 major competitor for cloud technologies that is Microsoft and Linux destros. If we want to use Linux docker image or PCF Linux image to connect AF SDK, we don't have any provision for this as of now because AF SDK does not support Linux OS. If we support this then most of cloud customer attracts to use AF SDK in their organization.

    We are actively working on a .NET 8 version of the AF SDK. Once this work is completed, we are going to reevaluate this idea.

    Do you have an update? Since .NET 9 has been released 9 months ago, will AF SDK for Linux be compatible?

    This enhancement is an incredibly important improvement considering the shift in resource utilization among our customers. Linux is dominating the edge, and the ability to deliver data reliably directly to PI and AF is essential. We are ready to help with prototyping, testing and bulletproofing in any way that Aveva wishes.

    We would also love it if AF SDK would work with Linux as almost all of our pipelines apart from anything with PI data and the webapi is less performant than the SDK. the SDK consumes like 10x less resources at same performance levels.

    Wondering about the last bit of this admin response. " Once this work is completed, we are going to reevaluate this idea " What, in particular, is going to be reevaluated?

    If PI AF SDK used .NET 5, then PI AF SDK would work on Linux. https://feedback.osisoft.com/forums/555145-pi-developer-technologies/suggestions/40291651-add-net-core-support-for-af-sdk
