Yesterday we announced the general availability of the Amazon CognitoAuthentication Extension Library, which enables .NET Core developers to easily integrate with Amazon Cognito in their application. We want to further simplify the integration process into ASP.NET Core, so today we’re releasing the developer preview of the custom ASP.NET Core Identity Provider for Amazon Cognito. Targeting […]

We’re excited to announce the general availability of the Amazon CognitoAuthentication Extension Library! The general availability release adds security, improves performance, and fixes bugs to the previously available developer preview. This library simplifies the authentication process of Amazon Cognito user pools for .NET Core and Xamarin applications, and targets .NET Standard 2.0. Amazon Cognito user […]

We’re pleased to announce that the AWS SDK for Java 2.x is now generally available and supported for production use. Version 2.x is a major rewrite of the 1.11.x code base. Built with support for Java 8+, 2.x adds several frequently requested features, like nonblocking I/O, improved start-up performance and automatic iteration over paginated responses. […]

We’re happy to announce the developer preview of the AWS SDK for JavaScript, version 3. This version of the SDK is a major rewrite of the 2.x code base. It’s written in TypeScript and adds frequently requested features, like modularized packages. Many aspects of the SDK have been refactored and cleaned up in addition to […]

This blog was authored by Mike Cowgill, Principal Engineer at Intuit (maker of TurboTax and QuickBooks) and active collaborator in the AWS Cloud Development Kit open source community. What is exciting about the AWS CDK? First, if you don’t know what the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is, check out the GitHub project or CDK’s […]

In part 1 of this blog post, we explored using the lightweight dependency injection (DI) provided by Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection. By itself, this is great for libraries and small programs, but if you’re building a nontrivial application, you have other problems to contend with: You might have complex configuration needs (development versus production, multiple sources, etc.) How […]

Dependency injection (DI) is a central part of any nontrivial application today. .NET has libraries like Ninject for implementing inversion of control (IOC) in their development and, as of .NET Core 1.0 (specifically, .NET Standard 1.1), lightweight DI can be provided by Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection. This was used primarily in the context of developing .NET Core web applications, but it can be […]

Summary: This blog post describes best practices for using DateTime values in distributed .NET programming. It also highlights some of the recent, related changes in the AWS SDK for .NET and the AWSPowerShell modules. Today, it’s increasingly common to write code that interacts with external systems, and it’s very likely that these systems won’t share the […]

If your application is using .NET Framework 3.5 or 4.5 you should update to version 3.3.22.0 or later of AWSSDK.Core. This ensures you are using the latest HTTPS protocols and can communicate with newer AWS services. Background A growing trend across the internet is for HTTPS services to only accept connections using newer encryption protocols […]

We’re excited to announce support for the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) SelectObjectContent API with event streams in the AWS SDK for PHP in version 3.67.11. Using Amazon S3 Select, you can query for a subset of data from an S3 object by using simple SQL expressions. Amazon S3 streams the responses as a […]
