Last month I had the pleasure of speaking at the NDC conference in Oslo talking about .NET Core and AWS Serverless technologies. The talk focused around a new reference application I have been working on called Pollster. Two years ago at the 2015 AWS re:Invent conference we demoed a version of Pollster using .NET Core, […]

Trevor Sullivan, a Systems Development Engineer here at Amazon, recently contributed some new AWS CloudFormation helper cmdlets and improved formatting for types he works with on a daily basis. These updates were released in version 3.3.119.0 of the AWS Tools for PowerShell modules (AWSPowerShell and AWSPowerShell.NetCore), in addition to new support in Amazon CloudWatch metrics […]

Since we launched the first AWS module for PowerShell five years ago, we’ve been hugely encouraged by the feedback from the user community, from first-time PowerShell users to PowerShell MVPs.

The AWS SDK for .NET has a utility class, Amazon.CloudFront.AmazonCloudFrontCookieSigner, for creating signed cookies to access private content served using Amazon CloudFront. This blog contains details on usage of this utility class along with sample code. Specifying AmazonCloudFrontCookieSigner.Protocols.Https as the protocol parameter creates a cookie with incorrect policy; the policy contains a resource restriction of […]

With our release of .NET Core support in AWS Lambda, we also released many NuGet packages to help you develop Lambda functions. We’ve been constantly updating them on our GitHub repository as well. Let’s look at some of the recent updates. Amazon.Lambda.Tools This package contains the integration with the .NET Core CLI, which you can […]

In the last post, we talked about AWS Lambda deployment integration with the dotnet CLI, using the Amazon.Lambda.Tools NuGet package to deploy Lambda functions and serverless applications. But what if you want to create an AWS Lambda project outside of Visual Studio? This is especially important if you’re working on platforms other than Windows. The […]

In previous posts about our .NET Core support with AWS Lambda, we’ve shown how you can create Lambda functions and serverless applications with Visual Studio. But one of the most exciting things about .NET Core is its cross-platform support with the new command line interface (CLI) named dotnet. To help you develop Lambda functions outside […]

The AWS SDK for .NET, AWS Tools for PowerShell, and the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio now support the use of the AWS CLI credentials file. Some of the AWS SDKs have supported shared use of the AWS CLI credentials file for some time, and we’re happy to add the SDK for .NET to that […]
