Gotta get in the habit of ruling my naming conventions.

AWS credentials location for Windows IIS
You’d expect to have the AWS credentials loaded up by your application via %userprofile%\.aws but no, it doesn’t.
I think I’ve spent about 2 hours searching for the solution. Thanks to some random person, I figured out that you have to place the files here instead:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.aws\credentials
Now I finally got my ASP .NET Core 6.0 backend API running on my windows server.
Environment Variables -> AWS Parameter Store
After contemplating wether to use Azure’s vault, or AWS’s Secrets Manager, I’ve ended with the choice to use AWS’s Parameter Store.
Simple and clean.
– NuGet required (Amazon.Extensions.Configuration.SystemManager
For the minimal setup this is all you need in your Program.cs
builder.Configuration.AddSystemsManager(“PATH”, TimeSpan.FromDays(X));
I’ve safely stored the DB connection strings, and a few other sensitive data successfully.
New track I finished recently.
Been a while since I’ve finished an original track. Hard trance on the faster side. My next plan is to do my very first original Vocal track. Goal is to get it done by next Summer. Got too many things to study, and do per usual.

Back from break
I have kept with my studies on and off, but got in a dilemma on what I want to code next…
Let’s make it clear that I did finish my very first IOS app, distributed privately.
UI part is not looking good, but it is functional and so far bug free.
Speaking of bugs, I found a bug with my first windows app the “ArcheAge Calculator”
Found a quick and dirty? fix.
What’s next on the table.
– Recode the entire bucket list/todo app once .NET MAUI GA is released. SOON!
– Start working on a portfolio with my future projects via github, and my very own blazor published website
Now I need to figure out whether to keep hosting asp.net on the Windows VPS I pay roughly $50USD for, or to migrate and start using Azure?
