Develop and deploy your .NET Core-based C\# Lambda functions with the Amazon Toolkit for Visual Studio. Amazon Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. The Toolkit for Visual Studio includes Amazon Lambda .NET Core project templates for Visual Studio. 

For more information about Amazon Lambda, see the [Amazon Lambda](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/lambda/latest/dg/welcome.html) Developer Guide.

For more information about .NET Core, see the Microsoft [.NET Core](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/) guide. For .NET Core prerequisites and installation instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms, see [.NET Core Downloads](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core).
