The 15 free, individually available courses are organized into the following categories:

Continuing to support Microsoft's .NET Core initiative, Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS) this week opened up more .NET Core options for working with AWS Lambda, a service that facilitates serverless, event-driven computing. .NET Core is Microsoft's modernization of the ageing, Windows-only .NET Framework, taking it open source and cross-platform in a more modularized approach. The company has advised developers that .NET Core is the future and recommends it for all new development projects because it will be getting new features and functionality going forward, while .NET Framework will be relegated to security and maintenance updates. In announcing a new  Amazon.Lambda.RuntimeSupport  library, AWS made it possible for developers to create their own custom runtimes in order to use more versions of .NET Core beyond the version that's currently built-in to the AWS Lambda service. Previously, developers could only use Long Term Support (LTS) versions of .NET Core

Working with AWS Fargate (Lots of fun)

AWS Fargate is being hailed as a game-changer in the world of containerized microservices. In much the same way that the cloud has freed developers from managing the VM infrastructure, the Fargate service abstracts and automates the launching and orchestration of Docker or Kubernetes containers—letting developers take full advantage of the latest in cloud-native app architectures without worrying about task networking, scaling, and other behind-the-scenes processes. This blog describes the Fargate service and how it fits into the container ecosystem. Containers and Their Benefits According to  TechTarget  “[c]ontainers are packages that rely on virtual isolation to deploy and run applications that access a shared operating system (OS) kernel without the need for virtual machines (VMs).” The container image statically describes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime OS, system tools, system libraries and settings. During runtime the container engine reliably e

AWS and Azure for multicloud solutions As the leading public cloud platforms, AWS and Azure each offer businesses a broad and deep set of capabilities with global coverage. Yet many organizations choose to use both platforms together for greater choice and flexibility, as well as to spread their risk and dependencies with a multicloud approach. Consulting companies and software vendors might also build on and use both AWS and Azure, as these platforms represent most of the cloud market demand.  AWS and Azure are adding more services everyday so i will try to keep the content current.
