Migrate a .NET Enterprise Application to the Amazon Web Services Cloud

Aug. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Packt is pleased to announce a new book called Amazon Web Services: Migrating your .NET Enterprise Application Readers will learn about the business strategy and in-depth implementation involved in moving an application to Amazon. Written by Rob Linton, this book helps to explain major AWS products including EC2, EBS, S3, and account administration to manage application security.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a collection of remote computing services (also called web services) that together make up a cloud computing platform, offered over the Internet by Amazon.com. The most central and well-known of these services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3. The Amazon Cloud provides the enterprise with the flexibility to choose whichever solution is required to solve specific problems, ultimately reducing costs by only paying for what you use.

This book guides readers through the process of migrating a .NET Enterprise Application to the AWS cloud with a sample enterprise application migration. It teaches how to leverage some of the scalability and redundancy built into the Cloud, and explains how to make the newly migrated version better that the existing application. The book also talks about the Elastic Block Store (EBS), Elastic Load Balancer (ELB), and Relational Data Store (RDS).

Readers will be able to create and configure various resource types using the AWS Web Console. They will discover how to map Enterprise application features to AWS features, and use its advantages to enhance their existing .NET application. They will also learn to protect their data in Amazon Web Services, thereby managing security in the Amazon Cloud.

Developers interested in making use of the vast array of services available on the Amazon Cloud will find this book to be an interesting read. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit http://link.packtpub.com/35P3ui
