Developer tools for deploying .NET applications on AWS
Do you want to build, deploy, and develop .NET applications on AWS? AWS provides tools to make it easier for developers to develop, debug, and deploy .NET applications.
One of the fundamental requirements when you develop a .NET application to run or integrate with AWS services is having easy-to-use tools to help access the services, integrate with the development workflow and tooling, and enable higher levels of developer productivity.
Choosing the right tools depends on many factors, including development approach, team composition, and organizational standards. AWS provides a rich set of tools that you can use together or alone to help make the most of the services. AWS offers IDE toolkits, command line tools, SDKs, libraries, and assistive modernization tools to streamline .NET on AWS development.
To provision an environment for building and maintaining .NET and .NET Framework applications in the AWS Cloud, see Quick Start.
AWS SDK for .NET
One of the great advantages AWS offers over traditional, on-premises resources is that you can access its services through REST APIs, helping with integration from any programming or scripting environment that can string together HTTPS requests and then send them over the internet. AWS SDK for .NET helps you get started quickly by providing native .NET APIs to AWS services. Calling an AWS service is as easy as calling a method on an object using the SDK. All AWS SDKs provide support for API lifecycle consideration such credential management, retries, data marshaling, and serialization. AWS SDK for .NET also supports for higher level abstractions such as the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) Transfer Utility, the Amazon Cognito Identity Provider, and Amazon DynamoDB Session State provider. For .NET tools and libraries on AWS, see dotnet on the GitHub website.
See AWS extensions for .NET APIs libraries and frameworks.
