18 Mar 2018 ASP.NET Core Configuration Design Patterns .NET Core

This post is intended to set the stage for a later post (though may become a series) I have planned in which I look at using the Bridge design pattern to break the immediate dependency on the IOptions pattern in a .Net Core application.
