AMAZON WEB SERVICES / SERVICE MAP + BUILD GUIDE
Understand AWS.
Build it with .NET.
A modular guide to AWS foundations, application services, data platforms, AI, security, and operations. Explore how services fit together, follow official AWS references, and build integrations with the AWS SDK for .NET.
12 learning parts80+ services & capabilitiesAWS SDK for .NET V4 examples
A MODULAR WAY TO LEARN
Foundations → workloads → operations
Learn service families in dependency order. Each expandable part includes core topics and implementation direction. The catalog focuses on commonly used AWS services; product names and capabilities evolve, so use the official service references before deployment.
Build application platforms
Compute, containers, object and block storage, databases, and caches.
Connect data and AI
Event-driven systems, analytics, Amazon Bedrock, and SageMaker AI.
Operate and evolve
Observability, delivery, migration, hybrid connectivity, and IoT.
Scope: AWS has a large service catalog. This curriculum covers major service families and practical architecture paths; it is not an exhaustive inventory of every service, feature, region, or SKU.
SERVICE CATALOG / EXPAND A PART, THEN A SERVICE
AWS services, organized by architecture
Search by service or capability. Expand a chapter to review topics, a .NET implementation pattern, and the official AWS documentation.
No matching services. Try a shorter query or service family.
IMPLEMENTATION / AWS SDK FOR .NET V4
Real .NET integration patterns
Use the SDK credential and Region provider chains. In AWS, assign least-privilege IAM permissions to workload roles instead of placing long-lived credentials in source code.
Credential reminder: new AmazonS3Client() uses the SDK's configured credential and Region resolution. Configure local profiles for development and use an execution role, task role, or instance profile for deployed workloads.
COPYABLE STARTING POINTS
Upload an object to Amazon S3
Use the default AWS SDK credential chain and an IAM role with only the required S3 permissions.
Supply resource names and Regions through configuration. Add cancellation, validation, error handling, logging, and least-privilege policies before production use.

AWS permits the icons in architecture diagrams and materials such as whitepapers, presentations, data sheets, and posters. See the linked icon guidance for current use terms.
