When scaling your ASP.NET Core Razor app to multiple instances (pods, containers, etc.), authentication can become problematic. This is particularly true for cookie-based authentication, where each instance of your app needs to be able to encrypt and decrypt cookies using the same encryption keys.

By default, ASP.NET Core stores its data protection keys locally within the app (e.g., in /root/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys). This approach works well in single-instance scenarios, but when you scale horizontally, each instance of your app has its own set of encryption keys. As a result, cookies encrypted by one instance cannot be decrypted by another, causing authentication failures.

• Users are redirected to the login page when they switch between different instances (pods).

Update the hostname using the hostnamectl command:
