Over the years, AWS has been an active contributor to the .NET ecosystem, by adding .NET Foundation, they can be more deeply involved. They also showed their support for .NET open source community, because their contributions are used to support open-source projects, the Global Meetups, our members of the Action Group and the new plan. .NET foundation will also benefit from their expertise because they will help develop future growth plans.

AWS .NET Foundation on behalf of Norm Johanson spoke a few words:
Fred and I have a long history in building scalable, high-performance system. I am very pleased on behalf of AWS in the .NET Foundation. As a corporate sponsor to join .NET Foundation is an important moment AWS journey, this journey can be traced back to 2008.
我记得.NET 1.0第一次发布的时候。我为可以构建的未来感到非常兴奋。我于2010年加入AWS，领导AWS的.NET开发工作。AWS理解了.NET的重要性，而适用于.NET的AWS开发工具包实际上是AWS于2009年11月发布的第一个统一的AWS开发工具包。从那时起，我就有机会与.NET社区的无数成员合作， GitHub，Twitter和在会议上的演讲，以帮助他们建立在AWS上，并更好地了解.NET开发人员对AWS的期望。
在.NET Core处于早期开发期间，我们知道这就是.NET的未来。我们迅速开始建立对.NET Core的支持，并能够在.NET Core的早期测试版中添加支持。.NET Core 1.0发布仅几个月后，我们还发布了第一个针对无服务器应用程序的AWS Lambda .NET Core运行时。像.NET Foundation一样，我们知道公开进行这项工作很重要，因此AWS .NET团队使用我们构建的库和工具在GitHub.github.com/aws/dotnet上公开工作。
AWS Windows和Enterprise总经理Fred Wurden的几句话：
许多人没有意识到我们开始多久之前以及我们对AWS的承诺水平有多高，从而为客户提供了出色的.NET体验。Norm是AWS的完美代表，可以指导和代表整个AWS的许多工程师在支持.NET Foundation方面的工作。我们的客户对.NET具有长期的长期投资。他们告诉我们，他们希望AWS在云上转变业务时完全支持其现代化系统，数据库和应用程序的旅程。我们对.NET Foundation的赞助是将我们的承诺扩展到.NET客户的重要一步。
AWS将继续倾听客户的意见，增加投资并为社区做出贡献。我们期待与.NET Foundation，整个.NET社区以及我们的.NET客户合作，以支持.NET的未来。
自此，美国三大云厂商聚首.NET Foundation, 云计算领域版图之中美大格局，我真心希望中国的阿里云，腾讯云，华为云能够认真评估.NET的重要性，你们可以参照AWS。今年中国地区的.NET社区民间正在筹备11月份的峰会，期待更多的社区参与进来。
