Description

With the upgrade to .NET 6, the SDK installation is taking up a lot more space. We are having to add space to our containers, and that is space that really isn't needed. Would it be possible to get a buildpack that only installs the runtime and not the SDK? We always deploy the published app so we don't need the SDK taking up space.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the buildpack's .NET 6 installation flow and how published applications are handled. Determine how a runtime-only option could fit the buildpack; done means published deployments no longer install the SDK while retaining the required runtime.
