Answer 1

In addition to Temi's detailed answer, remember to replace

 services.AddDefaultIdentity()
            .AddEntityFrameworkStores();

With

 services.AddIdentity().AddEntityFrameworkStores();

Also, make sure that the types specified in AddIdentity<> is the same as the types called in serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<>

For the above, our types called in serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<> in Configure.cs would be

 var roleManager = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService>();
 var userManager = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService>();

Another important thing to note is that since CreateRoles(IServiceProvider) (from Temi's answer) is an async method, to call it in Configure method (which return void), you can use CreateRoles(serviceProviderInstance).Wait(); Hope this helps.
