Cloud-Native C# Development: Deploying to Azure and AWS
Master modern .NET development across two leading cloud platforms in this comprehensive, hands-on guide for building, deploying, and scaling cloud-native applications.

Are you a .NET developer looking to elevate your skills for the cloud era? Do you want to build applications that leverage the full power of Azure and AWS without being locked into a single provider? This practical guide bridges the gap between traditional .NET development and modern cloud-native architecture, giving you the tools, techniques, and knowledge to thrive in today's distributed computing landscape.

Why This Book Is Essential for Modern .NET Developers:

Cloud computing has fundamentally transformed how applications are built, deployed, and scaled. As organizations increasingly migrate to cloud environments, the demand for developers who understand cloud-native principles specifically within the .NET ecosystem has never been higher. This book equips you with the exact skills employers are seeking in today's competitive market.

What Sets This Book Apart:

Unlike other cloud development resources that focus on a single platform, this book provides balanced coverage of both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. This dual-platform approach gives you the flexibility to choose the right services for your specific needs or to confidently develop in multi-cloud environments—an increasingly common requirement in enterprise settings.

Inside You'll Discover:

A clear explanation of cloud-native concepts and why they matter for .NET applications
Step-by-step guidance for setting up an efficient development environment for cross-platform cloud work
Techniques for designing and building resilient, scalable APIs with ASP.NET Core
Detailed deployment workflows for both Azure (App Service, Container Apps) and AWS (Elastic Beanstalk, ECS)
Strategies for integrating with cloud databases, storage solutions, and messaging services
Implementing serverless architecture using Azure Functions and AWS Lambda
Best practices for monitoring, logging, and securing cloud applications
Automating deployments with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code
Who Should Read This Book:

Professional .NET developers looking to update their skills for cloud environments
DevOps engineers working with .NET applications across Azure and AWS
Solution architects designing scalable, cloud-native systems
Technical leads making platform decisions for .NET workloads
IT managers overseeing transitions to cloud infrastructure
Computer science students preparing for real-world development roles
Real-World Application:

Each chapter builds upon practical, production-ready examples that you can apply immediately in your own projects. You'll work with actual code samples, configuration files, and deployment scripts that reflect industry best practices.

The comprehensive appendices provide additional value with ready-to-use Dockerfile templates, service comparison mappings between Azure and AWS, sample CI/CD pipeline configurations, and strategies for optimizing cloud costs specifically for .NET applications.

By the final chapter, you'll have gained the confidence to architect, develop, and deploy sophisticated cloud-native applications that take full advantage of modern cloud capabilities while maintaining the productivity and familiarity of the .NET ecosystem.
