Learn how AWS projects, sessions, and CLI profiles work together so your coding agent deploys resources to the right project AWS launched a new getting started experience last month. The good news is that with one prompt, you can teach your coding agent how to help you build, deploy, and manage your AWS resources in this new experience. How do I connect my coding agent to AWS?

The new AWS experience handles much of the initial permission setup for your team and the services you build. See how project sharing grants collaborator access and IAM role manager handles workload role setup. The new AWS experience removes two pieces of permission setup that often interrupt an early build. First, a project owner can now invite another person with an emailed invite, instead of having to set up an IAM user or IAM Identity Center.

AI coding agents have shortened the path from an idea to working code. The updated AWS experience is designed to make deployment keep pace. It connects your agent to an AWS project, configures the AWS tools it needs, and handles permissions between the resources it creates. I used that workflow to turn a short prompt into a Python API using Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and Amazon DynamoDB.
