Speaker: Tara Walker, AWS Level: 200 This example based session will show how to develop cross-platform .NET Core applications on AWS. Through demos, we will provide a walkthrough on how to develop and deploy .NET Core applications using various AWS services including AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2 and AWS Elastic Beanstalk while taking advantage of the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio.

AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio
Simple Installation
To simplify installation, AWS provides AWS Tools for Windows,
a Windows installation package that includes:
• AWS SDK for .NET.
• AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell.
• AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio.
Visual Studio Versions
• VS 2017
• VS 2015
• VS 2008 (still available, but not supported.)

AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio
Alternative Installation
As an alternative to installing the AWS Tools for Windows
package, developers can:
• Within Visual Studio. use NuGet to download individual AWS SDK
service assemblies for a specific application project.
• Guarantees access to the latest version of the SDK.
• Once SDK is installed, Visual Studio will check if there is an updated version on
opening.
• Use the AWS Extensions for .NET CLI
• Tool extensions for on building .NET Core & ASP.NET Core applications and
deploying them to AWS
• Provided through NuGet with their package type set to DotnetCliTool.
• manually add the DotNetCliToolReference element to the csproj file
• https://github.com/aws/aws-extensions-for-dotnet-cli

9. AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio
AWS Explorer
AWS Explorer enables you to interact with many of the AWS services
from inside the Visual Studio IDE.
Supported data services include:
• AWS Lambda
• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
• Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
• Amazon DynamoDB
• Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS)
• Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
• Amazon CloudFront
• AWS CloudFormation
• AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM)
