### Who is this for?
This is an introductory topic for software developers interested in learning how to deploy .NET Aspire applications on Arm-based virtual machines (VMs) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

### What will you learn?
Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of .NET Aspire developer tools.
- Create a .NET Aspire application.
- Modify code on a Windows on Arm development machine.
- Deploy a .NET Aspire application to Arm-powered virtual machines in the Cloud.

### Prerequisites
Before starting, you will need the following:
- A Windows on Arm machine, for example the Lenovo Thinkpad X13s running Windows 11 to build the .NET Aspire project.
- An [Arm-based instance](https://learn.arm.com/learning-paths/servers-and-cloud-computing/csp/) from AWS or GCP.
- Any code editor. [Visual Studio Code for Arm64](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=win32arm64user) is an example of a suitable editor.
