About This Course
AWS is the leading cloud provider by a pretty wide margin, and contrary to popular belief,
it is an excellent choice for your C# and .NET applications.
In this course, Nick will start you with all the AWS services you should know how to use in AWS.
Nick has been using AWS for years to build highly scalable and available applications for millions of users,
so the content of this course is based on real-world knowledge of seeing what works and what doesn't.
