“.NET Core is the Future of .NET”

“.NET Framework 4.8 will be the last major version of .NET Framework”

“…all *new* .NET applications should be based on .NET Core”

“All future investment in .NET will be in .NET Core”

- Scott Hunter, Director Program Management for .NET, Microsoft

.NET Core Release schedule and naming:

.NET Core 3.1 December, 2019 Currently GA

.NET 5 – Unified platform, many targets


Compute Resources: Where to Run Code

EC2 Instances: Windows/Linux (.NET Framework, .NET Core)

‒ Choose instance type/size, memory, disk, vCPUs

‒ You manage and patch

Containers: Windows, Linux (.NET Framework, .NET Core)

‒ Easy to package, deploy, reuse and scale

‒ Focus on development, not infrastructure

Lambda (.NET Core)

‒ Serverless platform for short-running tasks (< 15 min)

‒ Pay only for the time the code is executing

‒ Choose from C#, Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Ruby,

or bring your own runtime!

AWS SDK for .NET

.NET assemblies make it easy to program against the AWS APIs.

.NET Standard API:

.NET Framework 3.5 and later

.NET Core 2.x, 3.x, etc

Install packages with NuGet

SDK packages are named AWSSDK.* Other useful packages at Amazon.* and AWS.*

Patterns for .NET Coding for AWS Services

Using the low-level APIs:

Create a service-specific client.var client = new AmazonS3Client(…)

Create action-specific request.var request = new PutBucketRequest(…)

Invoke client method, passing request and receiving responsevar response = await client.PutBucketAsync(request)

High-level Abstractions & Utilities:

S3 TransferUtility – copy large files and entire folders to/from S3

DynamoDB Object Model – automatically store POCOs to DynamoDB

Logger Packages – ILogger implementations

DynamoDB Session Provider – ASP.NET Session to DynamoDB



• See your AWS resources

• Launch VMs, databases, create

DynamoDB tables, more

• ASP.NET and Lambda deployment

wizards

• Scan DynamoDB tables

• Test your Lambda functions

• Manage CloudFormation stacks

• More!



Lots of sample

project templates in

the New Project

wizard.


AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code

Create, deploy and

invoke new SAM

serverless apps

View, delete and get

information on AWS

CloudFormation

Stacks

Invoke, delete and get

information on AWS

Lambda functions


AWS Tools for Azure DevOps & TFS


AWS Tools for PowerShell & PowerShell Core

Manage AWS Resources and

Services from PowerShell

Perform many of the same

actions available in the AWS

SDK for .NET

Use scripts to automate

administrative tasks, and

take advantage of the range

of AWS services


AWS Elastic Beanstalk (EB)

Easily deploy, monitor, and scale three-tier web

applications and services.

Infrastructure provisioned and managed by EB – but you

maintain complete control.

Preconfigured application stacks that are easily

customizable.

Support for:


AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Your code

IIS Web Server

ASP.NET / App Pool

.NET Framework

Windows Server

Host

Elastic Beanstalk configures

each EC2 instance in your

environment with the

components necessary to run

applications for the selected

platform. No more worrying

about logging into instances to

install and configure you

application stack.

Focus on building

your application

Provided by you

Provided and managed by AWS Elastic Beanstalk (EB)


.NET Framework Migration Strategies

Deploy .NET Framework apps “as is” to EC2 Every app can have custom server configuration, different .NET

Framework versions, IIS configuration, dependencies, etc.

Containerize in Windows Containers and orchestrate with ECS Supports different .NET Framework versions, IIS configurations,

dependencies

Leverage common CI/CD pipelines, consolidate servers

Port to .NET Core, and run in ECS, Fargate or Lambda No OS licensing costs, smaller containers

Enables deploying apps to Lambda
