AWS has supported .NET workloads since 2008. Today, both .NET Framework applications on Windows and cross-platform .NET applications on Linux run on AWS. By modernizing your .NET workloads on AWS you can reduce cost, take advantage of containers and serverless, and move to microservices and cloud-native architectures. Our assistive modernization tools do the heavy lifting and reduce manual effort.
