I have not been able to find any proper documentation on how to upgrade an ASP.NET application to ASP.NET vNext.
I would like to switch hosting servers and from what I have learnt, you can host ASP.NET vNext not only on Windows, but also on Linux, Mac, etc.
I found this article: Upgrade to .NET vNext but it did not really help to achieve my goal.
So my question is: what are the important steps to take when upgrading an existing ASP.NET application to ASP.NET vNext?

The main difference between ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET MVC 5 is their cross-platform approach. ASP.NET Core can be used on Windows, Mac, or Linux, whereas ASP.NET MVC 5 can only be used for applications on Windows. The ASP.NET Core MVC is a framework for building web apps and APIs, optimized for use with ASP.NET Core.
ASP.NET vNext is:Cloud and server-optimized. ASP.NET MVC and Web API have been unified into a single programming model. No-compile developer experience. Dependency injection out of the box. Side by side - deploy the runtime and framework with your application.
ASP.NET 5 (vNext) is currently in beta, so you're not going to find much documentation as a lot of the available libraries are still changing. Likewise, the Kestrel HTTP server, for cross-platform hosting is also currently under development. You can download the release candidate of Visual Studio 2015 here and play around with it yourself, but don't expect any official upgrade documentation until it's release.
