How to create a child scope from the parent with default dependency injection in .NET Core?

Question

I am building a console .NET Core application. It periodically runs a method that does some work. How do I make ServiceProvider behave in the same way it behaves in ASP.NET Core apps. I want it to resolve scoped services when the method begins it's execution and dispose the resolved services at the end of the method.

// pseudocode

globalProvider.AddScoped<ExampleService>();

// ...

using (var scopedProvider = globalProvider.CreateChildScope())
{
    var exampleService = scopedProvider.Resolve<ExampleService>();
}

Use IServiceProvider.CreateScope() method to create a local scope:

var services = new ServiceCollection();
services.AddScoped<ExampleService>();
var globalProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

using (var scope = globalProvider.CreateScope())
{
    var localScoped = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService<ExampleService>();

    var globalScoped = globalProvider.GetService<ExampleService>();
}

It can be easily tested:

using (var scope = globalProvider.CreateScope())
{
    var localScopedV1 = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService<ExampleService>();
    var localScopedV2 = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService<ExampleService>();
    Assert.Equal(localScopedV1, localScopedV2);

    var globalScoped = globalProvider.GetService<ExampleService>();
    Assert.NotEqual(localScopedV1, globalScoped);
    Assert.NotEqual(localScopedV2, globalScoped);
}

Reference Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection or just Microsoft.AspNetCore.All package to use the code above.
