If you have ever thought about hosting your Microsoft Windows-based application in the cloud, this guide is a good place to start. It walks you through the process of deploying a sample application and all the necessary infrastructure for running and monitoring it. The guide also includes a discussion of pricing so you can compare the cost of cloud computing to that of managing your own infrastructure. This documentation is offered for free here as a Kindle book, or you can read it online or in PDF format at
This is a good lightweight read and reference for exactly what it states it is for. It's straight to the point but can leave a little to be desired in terms of creating something more automated and less clunky. That's not the purpose of this book though so don't get into it thinking you're going to get a DevOps or NoOps approach to creating a .NET app in AWS. Good for "getting started".
