Modernize .NET APM agent install testing on Linux

Adds end-to-end .NET agent install tests on current distros/runtimes — Amazon Linux 2023 & Ubuntu 24.04 running .NET 10 — while keeping the existing Ubuntu 20.04 / Amazon Linux 2 / .NET 5 definitions as an intentional old-to-new coverage matrix. All exercise the same apm/dotNet/linux-systemd recipe.

4 new definitions (US ubuntu24 + al2023, EU/JP ubuntu24) deploy self-contained and framework-dependent .NET 10 apps behind Apache and validate .NET Agent (installed). Existing defs are updated, not removed. All CI deploy jobs green.

Note: I created new .NET 10 sample app artifacts (self-contained + framework-dependent, entrypoint net10webapp, contents at archive root) and published them to an s3 bucket that I have write permissions to. For consistency, these should be moved to the same s3 bucket that is associated with this repo (open-install-library-artifacts.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com), but I will need help from whoever owns that resource to accomplish this.

Details

New test definitions (.NET 10, x86_64, Apache, full agent validation):

  • test/definitions/apm/dotNet/linux/ubuntu24-apache-aspnetcore.json (US)
  • test/definitions/apm/dotNet/linux/al2023-apache-aspnetcore.json (US)
  • test/definitions-eu/apm/dotNet/linux/ubuntu24-apache-aspnetcore.json (EU)
  • test/definitions-jp/apm/dotNet/linux/ubuntu24-apache-aspnetcore.json (JP)

New runtime-install roles:

  • dotNet/install/ubuntu24/ — aspnetcore-runtime-10.0 via the Microsoft apt feed.
  • dotNet/install/al2023/ — aspnetcore-runtime-10.0 via AL2023's native dnf repos. (Microsoft's rhel/9 feed is unusable on AL2023 — its meta-RPM requires system-release < 10.)

Deploy scripts made version-neutral + parameterized (apache/deploy-application/dotNet/{debian,rhel}):

  • Added dotnet_app_name (and rhel dotnet_exe) params with behavior-preserving defaults; new defs override them.
  • Renamed templates net5webapplication.{service,conf} → dotnetwebapplication.{service,conf}; dropped version-specific descriptions.

Recipe fix (recipes/newrelic/apm/dotNet/linux-systemd.yml): add_gnupg2_if_required now guards the apt-get path on yum presence, so it no longer errors on RPM/dnf distros like AL2023.

Existing definitions (kept, not retired):

  • EU/JP ubuntu20 resource IDs renamed to unique, per-region, ≤20-char names (ubuntu20-eu/-jp) to avoid cross-region security-group collisions.
  • Retained alongside the linux2-aspnetcore5 smoke test as older-distro/runtime coverage.

Misc: .gitignore ignores docs/superpowers/.

Merging this now to unblock the .NET Linux test-def modernization work — everything else in the PR (Ubuntu 24.04 + AL2023 defs, .NET 10 runtime, parameterized deploy scripts, add_gnupg2_if_required guard, ubuntu20 EU/JP resource-id rename) is clean and CI green.

Temporary caveat, tracked separately: the four new test defs currently point at https://test-repo-production.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/install/dotnet/testapps/{selfcontained,frameworkdependent}-net10webapplication.zip — a personal S3 bucket, as you flagged in the PR description. We'll revisit and transfer those artifacts to the repo-owned open-install-library-artifacts.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com bucket in a follow-up. Until then, CI stays green because your bucket serves them; that's the load-bearing assumption we're accepting for now.

LGTM. See top-level comment for the S3-bucket follow-up we're tracking separately.
