If you had to pick two popular technologies to focus on that emerged over the last 20 years, it would be tough to pick two better choices than C# and AWS. Anders Hejlsberg designed C# for Microsoft in 2000, and a few years later, the .NET Framework and Visual Studio launched. Next, in 2004, Mono, a cross-platform compiler and runtime for C#, became widely available. This ecosystem has enabled unique platforms and technologies, including the cross-platform mobile framework Xamarin.

In an alternate universe in the early 2000s, Amazon switched to a service-oriented architecture that culminated in a 2002 release of public web services. As the services grew in popularity, Amazon released SQS in 2004 and Amazon S3 and EC2 in 2006. These storage, compute, and messaging services are still the core building blocks of Amazon Web Services (AWS). As of 2022, AWS has at least 27 geographic regions, 87 availability zones, millions of servers, and hundreds of services. These services include various offerings ranging from machine learning (SageMaker) to serverless (Lambda). This book shows what is possible with these two remarkable technology stacks. Youll learn the theory surrounding cloud computing and how to implement it using AWS. You will also build many solutions with AWS technology, from serverless to DevOps implemented with the power of the .NET ecosystem, culminating in many elegant solutions that use these two powerful technologies.
