Adds tactical cross-links from dotnet/docs articles to aspire.dev content, surfacing Aspire at natural decision points for developers working on distributed-app concerns (containerization, orchestration, observability, resilience, caching, service discovery).

Only articles hosted in this repo were modified; articles in azure-docs, aspnetcore-docs, ef-docs, and vs-docs are out of scope. Product is referred to as "Aspire" (not ".NET Aspire") per current branding.

Changes by topic area

  • Container publishing & deploymentsdk-publish.md, build-container.md, deploying/index.md
  • Docker Composemulti-container-applications-docker-compose.md
  • Observability & OpenTelemetryobservability-with-otel.md, observability-otlp-example.md, tracing.md
  • Health checksmonitor-app-health.md
  • Resilience & HTTP patternsresilience/index.md, http-resilience.md, implement-http-call-retries-exponential-backoff-polly.md
  • Service discoveryservice-discovery.md
  • Cachingcaching.md
  • Microservices eBookindex.md, communication-in-microservice-architecture.md, microservice-application-design.md, rabbitmq-event-bus-development-test-environment.md
  • Worker servicesworkers.md
  • Cloud-native architecturedefinition.md, application-resiliency-patterns.md

Link placement approach

Each link follows the existing pattern of its host article:

  • See also / Next steps lists — single bullet appended with em-dash description
  • Additional resources sections (ebook chapters) — new resource entry matching existing format
  • Tip callout boxes — used on high-impact landing pages (microservices/index.md, definition.md, microservice-application-design.md, application-resiliency-patterns.md)

Example addition in a "See also" section:

- [Service defaults](https://aspire.dev/fundamentals/service-defaults/)—Aspire's service defaults project configures standard resilience pipelines for `HttpClient` out of the box.
