Amazon Web Services with .Net - What Should We Know?

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) can be defined as a single package that can be downloaded. It comes up with VSP or Visual Studio Templates, the AWS.NET library, code samples of C#, and last but not the least, documentation. The AWS.NET Software Development Kit (SDK) is designed to make the life the Windows developers much easier, when it comes to building .NET applications that offer economical, scalable, as well as trustworthy infrastructure services like Amazon Simple Storage Service or Amazon S3, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or EC2, SimpleDB and the likes.

The SDK of the package is also designed to support development on any type of platform, which is compatible with .NET Framework 3.5 or the more advanced versions. It also helps to develop as well design applications with the SDK, by using 2010 or later versions of Visual Studio. In order to make the process of development much simpler, AWS also provides a Visual Studio AWS toolkit, a plug-in for Visual Studio that comes up with the Software Development Kit for.NET, so that the developers do not have to separately install the SDK. The plug in also includes project templates for C# for web applications as well as consoles, support for taking care of the account credentials with optimal safety or security, a AWS Explorer, which can be used for managing the AWS resources from the Visual Studio.

The package is designed in such a way that when it comes to running MS SQL server, Exchange, SharePoint or applications of custom .NET, the customers or in other words, the end users will be able to rely on its trustworthiness and absolutely secured global infrastructure for running any type of MS Windows applications in the cloud without any hiccup whatsoever.

It helps the customers to get rid of the cost as well as the complexity of purchasing servers or managing the data centers and still avail more resources for putting emphasis on various solutions, as they provide value addition to the end users.

AWS also offers AMIs or preconfigured Machine Images. These AMIs help customers to switch on and run fully supported Window Server Virtual Machines within minutes. Then again, there are multiple versions of the software, which may be or may not be with SL Server. With the use an AMI, the MS software licensing can be taken care of by AWS though the expense will get added to the monthly bill.

It also helps in designing and coding, building and testing, running and debugging. The AWS Windows PowerShell tools help the Windows developers as well as the administrators to manage their AWS related services from the Windows PowerShell scripting setting.

The framework also helps to improve connection, by offering the developers the option of joining the community developers, who are into the development of secured, trustworthy, and scalable operations on the AWS cloud. It also helps in establishing connections that shift the process of development into a faster lane.

It also comes up with a streamlined manual that provides in depth knowledge of the package, provided by seasoned and experienced experts. This manual provides guidance on making the most of the AWS, along with various ways to find solutions to the common and not-so-common challenges. It supports Windows, Windows Phone Apps and connects the Windows Store and the Windows Phone Apps to Amazon Web Services cloud. It also comes up with libraries, which support Windows servers, tablets, desktops, various phones, or mobile environments.

On the other hand, the OPF or Object Persistence Framework negates the requirement for converting application-level data along with the customized middleware solutions through the process of mapping the .NET classes to the Amazon Database items for storing or retrieving the data. It comes up with a DynamoDB Session State Provider that is designed to remove various session state scales hiccups or bottlenecks by storing the state of ASP.NET sessions in DynamoDB. You can get in touch with a custom .Net development company who can help you develop web apps that are stable, scalable and secure.
