Using Aspire generated deployment manifest in production

[mehdihadeli]

Hi,
I have this concern in my mind, Should we use generated manifests from Aspire publish like Kubernetes and Azure directly in production?
Suppose we have a dedicated DevOps and platform team, and they are responsible for setup all infrastructure related things with YAML, Terraform, Bicep, ... in the source control with handling all detail configurations and security related things.

Now what happens after switching to use aspire and its publishing mechanism? We should get publish output of our aspire and after that customize and maintain it in the source control for our DevOps team? Should we consider it as a complete replacement for our entire DevOps infrastructure and implement all customizations directly in the C# code, similar to how Pulumi operates?
Is aspire publish a replacement for infrastructure as code tools like Terraform?

Thanks for sharing this article,
So I think aspire publish result can be used as start point or a scaffolding template for platform team for handling more advance rules and security policies.
