Kentico Cloud Deployment - Azure or AWS?

Kathie Zullinger asked on September 3, 2024 20:14

Hello! We are on K13, MVC .NET 5. We are gearing up to upgrade to .NET Core but in this instance also taking it to the cloud (AWS or Azure). I am interested in hearing where different companies have Kentico (version, cloud provider of AWS / Azure) and what your experience with the providers / environment has been. Any "gotchas" that you ran across?

TIA!

Hi Kathie,

I realize you are looking more for info from companies who have used AWS/Azure with Xperience but I did just want to respond to say that we have some resources for setting this up in our documentation in case you haven't seen them yet:

Running Xperience on Microsoft Azure and its subpages
Using Amazon web services with Xperience

One "gotcha" that comes up in support cases somewhat often is that some features used when running these services can act like a proxy server (load balancers, Azure front door, etc.) so customers need to configure Xperience with this in mind according to the instructions in our documentation: Running Xperience behind a proxy server

We also have some info in there on Migrating ASP.NET MVC 5 projects to ASP.NET Core which might be useful in your case as well. One of our MVP's, Brian McKeever, has also written an article on this topic: How to Migrate from MVC 5 to .NET Core for Kentico Xperience

I hope this helps!
