What is the Amazon SDK for .NET
The Amazon SDK for .NET makes it easier to build .NET applications that tap into cost-effective, scalable, and reliable Amazon services such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). The SDK simplifies the use of Amazon services by providing a set of libraries that are consistent and familiar for .NET developers..
(OK, got it! I'm ready to set up and take a quick tour.)
