Transform your .NET applications beyond lift-and-shift

Since 2008, AWS has been the trusted cloud provider for .NET workloads, offering extensive expertise and continuous innovation. Whether you’re running .NET Framework applications on Windows or cross-platform .NET applications on Linux, AWS supports your modernization journey at every step.

AWS helps organizations transform .NET Framework applications to cross-platform .NET, reducing costs, leveraging containers and serverless technologies, and adopting microservices and cloud-native architectures. With generative AI-powered capabilities, AWS simplifies complex processes, automates routine tasks, and accelerates your team’s transformation efforts.

Why transform your .NET applications on AWS?

Cut Windows licensing costs by up to 40% by transitioning to open-source Linux platforms, gaining license freedom and optimizing your budget.

Moving to cross-platform .NET allows your applications to run on AWS Graviton-based instances, delivering up to 40% better price performance over comparable x86-based EC2 instances.

Modernizing to cross-platform .NET enables containerized and serverless deployments, helping you adopt scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient architectures with services like HAQM ECS, HAQM EKS, and AWS Lambda.

Free your developers from legacy technical debt and give them access to the latest .NET features and cloud-native tools—accelerating delivery and fostering continuous innovation. By automating tedious manual porting tasks, AWS Transform for .NET frees up your team’s time to focus on high-value innovation and strategic priorities.

AWS Transform, the first agentic AI service for modernizing .NET applications at scale, accelerates large-scale modernization from .NET Framework to cross-platform .NET by up to 4x. This empowers IT leaders to meet critical business timelines while staying ahead of the competition.

Modernize Windows .NET applications to be Linux-ready

Reap the benefits of Linux, containers, serverless, and microservices by modernizing .NET workloads on AWS. AWS Transform for .NET can port your Windows-based .NET applications to Linux-compatible, cross-platform .NET using agentic AI, streamlining transformation tasks and slashing operational costs by up to 40%.

Replatform .NET applications with Windows containers

Containerize Windows-based applications with minimal code changes for higher resource efficiency and lower TCO, while enabling DevOps agility for faster time to market. AWS supports Windows containers on HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) and HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). Leverage AWS App2Container to containerize and migrate existing applications.

Rehost .NET applications to HAQM EC2

If moving to the cloud quickly is your priority, rehost .NET applications to HAQM EC2 without code changes. This approach delivers immediate cost savings, improved performance, and scalability, while positioning you for long-term modernization success once you're in the cloud. Accelerate your migration with programs like AWS Windows Migration Accelerator and AWS Migration Acceleration Program for Windows.
