## Introduction

LocalStack is an open-source framework that allows us to emulate the major AWS services locally, making it easier to develop and test cloud applications without incurring the cost and complexity of deploying to a real cloud environment.

In this post, I’ll show how to configure it to emulate S3 buckets and how to interact with those buckets from a C# application.
