You can use the AWS SDK for C++ in from your code by using a package manager to install the SDK. The correct binaries are automatically included for each runtime/architecture configuration you use — you don’t need to manage these dependencies yourself.
Each package manager is independent and controls its own availability of versions. There is a delay between when a version is released and when it is available through a package manager. The most recent version is always available through installing from source.
vcpkg is the supported package manager. Nuget is no longer being updated with new versions and only provides up to version 1.6 of the AWS SDK for C++.
