The AWS SDK for .NET version 4 (V4) is in preview, therefore this content is subject to change. For information about breaking changes and migration, see the migration topic. For released content, see the version 3 developer guide instead.
The AWS SDK for .NET supports Amazon EC2, which is a web service that provides resizable computing capacity. You use this computing capacity to build and host your software systems.
APIs
The AWS SDK for .NET provides APIs for Amazon EC2 clients. The APIs enable you to work with EC2 features such as security groups and key pairs. The APIs also enable you to control Amazon EC2 instances. This section contains a small number of examples that show you the patterns you can follow when working with these APIs. To view the full set of APIs, see the AWS SDK for .NET API Reference (and scroll to "Amazon.EC2").
The Amazon EC2 APIs are provided by the AWSSDK.EC2
Prerequisites
