Simple Log Service:Install the .NET Core SDK

Last Updated:Nov 08, 2025

Before you can use the .NET Core SDK to perform operations in Simple Log Service, you must install the SDK. This topic describes how to install the .NET Core SDK.

Prerequisites

  • Simple Log Service is activated. For more information, see .

  • An AccessKey pair is created and obtained. For more information, see AccessKey pair.

    Using the AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account poses a high security risk because it grants full permissions for all API operations. We recommend that you create and use a Resource Access Management (RAM) user to make API calls or perform routine O&M. The RAM user must have the required permissions to manage Simple Log Service resources. For more information, see Create and authorize a RAM user.

  • The .NET Core SDK and the Visual Studio development environment are installed. For more information, see Microsoft .NET Core Download and Visual Studio.
