AWS .NET Core Aurora CDK Blog!

Overview – AWS .NET Core Aurora CDK blog –

Many existing .NET Core applications can be containerized using docker and AWS services like Amazon EC2/ Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), AWS Systems Manager (SSM), Amazon Aurora Database providing a full blown API application system. The application architecture is complemented by build & pipeline tools like AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild using AWS CloudFormation. At the end of this blog, we will create a simple Microsoft .NET Web API for a ToDo Application

AWS CDK

Using CDK constructs, we have built the above infrastructure and integrated the solution with a Public Load Balancer. The output of this stack will give the API URLs for health check and API validation. As you notice by defining the solution using CDK, you were able to:

• Use object-oriented techniques to create a model of your system
• Organize your project into logical modules
• Code completion within your IDE

Other major advantages using this CDK approach include, as a developer/development team we should be able to

• Use logic (if statements, for-loops, etc) when defining your infrastructure
• Define high level abstractions, share them, and publish them to your team, company, or community
• Share and reuse your infrastructure as a library
• Testing your infrastructure code using industry-standard protocols
• Use your existing code review workflow
