Running Microsoft Workloads on AWS: Active Directory, Databases, Development, and More

Did you know that Amazon Web Services runs nearly double the amount of Microsoft Workloads in the cloud than any other provider?

Running Microsoft Workloads in AWS is your single-source solution for learning the best practice skills and guidance that AWS consultants offer their customers in the field. Over 70% of enterprise workloads are based on Microsoft technologies and AWS has been running these technologies in the AWS Cloud for more than 12 years-far longer than Microsoft's own Azure cloud platform.

The book goes in-depth and shows how developers across the globe are using their existing .NET skills to develop directly on top of AWS, using current AWS development services such as AWS Code Pipeline, AWS Code Build, and AWS Code Deploy to create the next generation of cloud-native applications using the most popular cloud serverless service-AWS Lambda.
