/// <remarks>
/// <para>
/// The <see cref="DistributedApplication"/> is an implementation of the <see cref="IHost"/> interface that orchestrates
/// a .NET Aspire application. To build an instance of the <see cref="DistributedApplication"/> class, use the
/// <see cref="DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder()"/> method to create an instance of the <see cref="IDistributedApplicationBuilder"/>
/// interface. Using the <see cref="IDistributedApplicationBuilder"/> interface you can configure the resources
/// that comprise the distributed application and describe the dependencies between them.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// Once the distributed application has been defined use the <see cref="IDistributedApplicationBuilder.Build()"/> method
/// to create an instance of the <see cref="DistributedApplication"/> class. The <see cref="DistributedApplication"/> class
/// exposes a <see cref="DistributedApplication.Run"/> method which then starts the distributed application and its
/// resources.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// The <see cref="CreateBuilder(Aspire.Hosting.DistributedApplicationOptions)"/> method provides additional options for
/// constructing the <see cref="IDistributedApplicationBuilder"/> including disabling the .NET Aspire dashboard (see <see cref="DistributedApplicationOptions.DisableDashboard"/>) or
/// allowing unsecured communication between the browser and dashboard, and dashboard and app host (see <see cref="DistributedApplicationOptions.AllowUnsecuredTransport"/>.
/// </para>

/// The following example shows creating a PostgreSQL server resource with a database and referencing that
