AWS infrastructure administration tool uses the AWS SDK for .NET Version 3
These services are a proof of concept facade. This means they simply wrap the massive AWS SDK and group the responsibilities in a cohesive manner. The methods return ASW SDK types where your production code would be returning your own entities for your application.
- Auto Scaling
- EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)
- ECS (Elastic Container Service)
- ECR (Elastic Container Registry)

- AmazonEC2FullAccess
- AmazonS3FullAccess
- AmazonSQSFullAccess
For production code more granular access would be used.
IAM roles are a secure way to grant permissions to entities that you trust.
