The [Microsoft.AspNetCore.All](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNetCore.All) metapackage for ASP.NET Core includes:
* All supported packages by the ASP.NET Core team.
* All supported packages by the Entity Framework Core.
* Internal and 3rd-party dependencies used by ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core.
All the features of ASP.NET Core 2.x and Entity Framework Core 2.x are included in the `Microsoft.AspNetCore.All` package. The default project templates use this package.
The version number of the `Microsoft.AspNetCore.All` metapackage represents the ASP.NET Core version and Entity Framework Core version (aligned with the .NET Core version).
Applications that use the `Microsoft.AspNetCore.All` metapackage automatically take advantage of the [.NET Core Runtime Store](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/deploying/runtime-store). The Runtime Store contains all the runtime assets needed to run ASP.NET Core 2.x applications. When you use the `Microsoft.AspNetCore.All` metapackage, **no** assets from the referenced ASP.NET Core NuGet packages are deployed with the application — the .NET Core Runtime Store contains these assets. The assets in the Runtime Store are precompiled to improve application startup time.
