### Proposed topic or title Hosting an external executable ### Location in table of contents. AppHost (Orchestration) ### Reason for the article I can't find any documentation on how to use `ExecutableResource` or how to use the `builder.AddExecutable` extension to run an executable. ### Article abstract There are situations where you will need to run an external executable and treat it as a resource that other resources in the AppHost would rely on. An example of this is the [Azure Static Web Apps CLI](https://azure.github.io/static-web-apps-cli/), which you would provide the frontend (say a blazor WASM project) and backend (minimal api). It would also be important to cover how to provide command line args and how to read from `WithResource` calls information about the dependant resources. ### Relevant searches _No response_ --- [Associated WorkItem - 308091](https://dev.azure.com/msft-skilling/Content/_workitems/edit/308091)
