AWS .NET deployment tool (original) (raw)

AWS Deploy Tool for .NET is an interactive tool for the .NET CLI and the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio that helps deploy .NET applications with minimum AWS knowledge, and with the fewest clicks or commands.

Key capabilities

AWS Deploy Tool has the following capabilities:

• Compute recommendations for your application – Get recommendations about the type of compute best suited for your application based on the application type.
• Dockerfile generation - The tool will generate a Dockerfile if needed, otherwise an existing Dockerfile will be used.
