MySQL Connector/Net 8.0.8 is the fifth development release that expands cross-platform
support to Linux and macOS when using Microsoft’s .NET Core framework. Now, .NET
developers can use the X DevAPI with .NET Core and Entity Framework Core (EF Core)
1.0 to create server applications that run on Windows, Linux and macOS. We are very
excited about this change and really look forward to your feedback on it!

developers to write code that combines the strengths of the relational and document

I was recently downloading and trying to run a MySQL docker image  which worked just fine on top of a Hyper-V based Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Don’t worry, this is still Entity Framework Code-First migration article with Visual Studio 2015 and MySQL 5.6.27 (latest as of today). I setup a Docker MySQL Image on my Ubuntu based Docker host.
