In the past AWS and C# seemed to belong to two different eco-systems. One was a leading cloud platform while the other a widely used, powerful programming platform. Does it mean that a developer that needs to provide a solution in the cloud must choose between the two? Not anymore. In this talk, I will show how to write C# code that runs in a dockerized container in the cloud or as an AWS Lambda and harness, the popular AWS services.
