Sitefinity CMS ASP.NET Core Renderer is a standalone application, which you can host separately from Sitefinity CMS.
PREREQUISITES: The hosting provider must support ASP.NET Core Framework.
The following scenarios for hosting Sitefinity ASP.NET Core Renderer application are supported:
For the cloud scenario, you must have added all the domains of the live Renderer website to your Sitefinity license.
RECOMMENDATION: We strongly recommend not hooking a local Renderer to a live Sitefinity CMS instance. Because any changes to the live environment will not be applied to the local development environment, thus, breaking the Continuous delivery process and causing malfunction to any live Renderer.
Applicable to: Cloud and Mixed scenario, Azure App Services and Amazon EC2
