AWS Elastic Beanstalk Updated with .NET Core 2.0

We are happy to announce that Elastic Beanstalk’s Windows platform now supports .NET Core 2.0, which is now preinstalled along with the previous 1.0 and 1.1 versions of .NET Core. The easiest way to get started with deploying ASP.NET Core, the web framework for .NET Core, is using the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio which allows you to deploy right from Visual Studio. This earlier blog post contains a tutorial for deploying ASP.NET Core applications with Visual Studio.

When writing ASP.NET Core applications check out these NuGet packages. The NuGet package AWSSDK.Extensions.NETCore.Setup can be used to integrate the AWS SDK for .NET into ASP.NET Core’s dependency injection framework. To help with logging the NuGet package AWS.Logger.AspNetCore can be used to integrate ASP.NET Core’s logging framework with CloudWatch Logs making it easy to view the stream of logs coming from your applications.
