[.NET Aspire](/dotnet/aspire/get-started/aspire-overview) provides a streamlined approach to building cloud-native applications with built-in support for Orleans. Starting with Orleans 8.0, you can use Aspire to orchestrate your Orleans cluster, manage backing resources (like Redis or Azure Storage), and automatically configure service discovery, observability, and health checks.

@Meir017, I agree with the Copilot suggestions. Here are the issues and fixes:

Issue 1: Branding inconsistency
The document uses "Aspire" instead of the official product name ".NET Aspire" in:

  • Title: "Orleans and Aspire integration" → should be "Orleans and .NET Aspire integration"
  • Description: same fix
  • H1: same fix
  • Throughout the body text

Fix: Keep ".NET Aspire" as the primary name throughout the document. If shorthand is needed, add "(Aspire)" after first mention, e.g., ".NET Aspire (hereafter referred to as Aspire)".

Issue 2: External links vs internal links
The PR replaces Microsoft Learn links (/dotnet/aspire/...) with external aspire.dev links.

Fix: Restore the Microsoft Learn links for consistency, localization, and long-term stability. Use aspire.dev only for content that doesn't exist on Microsoft Learn.

Issue 3: Capitalization
Line 31: "Aspire cli" → should be "Aspire CLI"

Issue 4: Mixed terminology in pivot section
Line 209: "Aspire integration... .NET Aspire" → should be consistently ".NET Aspire" throughout.

Summary of changes needed:

| Title | "Orleans and Aspire integration" | "Orleans and .NET Aspire integration" |
| Description | "...with Aspire" | "...with .NET Aspire" |
| H1 | "# Orleans and Aspire integration" | "# Orleans and .NET Aspire integration" |
| Line 13 | "Aspire" | ".NET Aspire" |
| Line 17 | "Orleans integration with Aspire" | "Orleans integration with .NET Aspire" |
| Line 31 | "Aspire cli" | "Aspire CLI" |
| Line 209 | "Aspire integration... .NET Aspire" | ".NET Aspire integration... .NET Aspire" |

I can help create a PR with these fixes if needed.

The official name is Aspire, not .NET Aspire
