Deployment Using the AWS Toolkit

The Toolkit for Visual Studio supports application deployment to AWS Elastic Beanstalk containers or AWS CloudFormation stacks.

• Deploying to Elastic Beanstalk describes how to use the Visual Studio IDE to deploy applications to Elastic Beanstalk.

• Deploying to Amazon EC2 Container Service describes how to use the Visual Studio IDE to deploy applications to Amazon ECS.

• Standalone Deployment Tool describes how to use the standalone deployment tool to deploy to either Elastic Beanstalk containers or AWS CloudFormation stacks from a command window.

Note

If you are using Visual Studio Express Edition:

• You can use the standalone deployment tool to deploy applications to Elastic Beanstalk containers.

• You can use the Docker CLI to deploy applications to Amazon ECS containers.

• You can use the AWS Management Console to deploy applications to Elastic Beanstalk containers.

For Elastic Beanstalk deployments, you must first create a web deployment package. For more information, see How to: Create a Web Deployment Package in Visual Studio. For Amazon ECS deployment, you must have a Docker image. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Docker.
