Amazon Web Services (AWS) for .NET and Full Stack Developers

AWS fundamentals — regions and AZs, IAM, the shared responsibility model; compute (EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, ECS/Fargate, EKS, Lambda, App Runner), storage (S3, EBS, EFS), databases (RDS for SQL Server, Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache), networking (VPC, subnets, security groups, Route 53, CloudFront, ALB/NLB, API Gateway), messaging (SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Kinesis), security (KMS, Secrets Manager, Cognito, WAF), monitoring (CloudWatch, X-Ray, CloudTrail), infrastructure as code (CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform), CI/CD (CodePipeline, GitHub Actions), deploying .NET apps, cost management, the Azure ↔ AWS service map and AWS interview questions.

Core services

IAM (roles!) · EC2 · Elastic Beanstalk · ECS/Fargate · EKS · Lambda · S3 · EBS/EFS · RDS (SQL Server) · Aurora · DynamoDB · ElastiCache · VPC · ALB/NLB · Route 53 · CloudFront · API Gateway · SQS/SNS/EventBridge · CloudWatch · CloudTrail · KMS/Secrets Manager · Cognito.

Azure ↔ AWS

App Service ↔ Beanstalk/App Runner · Container Apps ↔ Fargate · AKS ↔ EKS · Functions ↔ Lambda · Blob ↔ S3 · Azure SQL ↔ RDS · Cosmos DB ↔ DynamoDB · Service Bus ↔ SQS/SNS · Key Vault ↔ Secrets Manager · Monitor ↔ CloudWatch · Bicep ↔ CloudFormation/CDK.

HA basics

2+ AZs · ALB + auto scaling · Multi-AZ RDS · stateless apps · queues for spikes · Route 53 failover for DR.

Security basics

Root MFA, no keys · least-privilege policies · roles for apps · private subnets for data · security groups chain · KMS encryption · Secrets Manager · CloudTrail on · WAF on public endpoints.

Cost basics

Right-size · Savings Plans/RIs · Spot for batch · Graviton · serverless for spiky · S3 lifecycle · VPC endpoints · Budgets + tags.
