Description

Hello, I am new to Aspire and really impressed so far with the capabilities it is opening up first and foremost in the local development space.

While the newcomer experience is fresh in my mind, I would like to provide feedback on the pain point I am experiencing.

Most of the examples and Microsoft Learn pages on Aspire that I encountered configure the host components for unsecured http operation. I think in 2025 https should be on by default for everything.

Yes, key infrastructure can be hard to deal with. Perhaps this is an indication that Aspire could do more in that area, possibly in a similar way to what ASP.NET does by autoconfiguring development certificates.

I like the Keycloack example that reuses the dev certificates; maybe something like this can exist in Aspire as a first-class citizen.

Thank you!
