To use this AWS Toolkit, you will first need an AWS account, a user within that account, and an access key for that user. To use the AWS Toolkit to do AWS serverless application development and to run/debug AWS Lambda functions locally, you will also need to install the AWS CLI, Docker, and the AWS SAM CLI. The installation guide covers setting up all of these prerequisites.
We also offer opt-in Early Access Preview builds that are built automatically.
In order to opt-in:

Sometimes we'll introduce experimental features that we're trying out. These may have bugs, usability problems or may not be fully functional, and because these aren't ready for prime-time we'll hide them behind an experimental feature flag.
Experimental features can be enabled in the settings/preferences
(Settings -> Tools -> AWS -> Experimental Features) or via the Addtional Settings (
) in the AWS Explorer Tool Window.
Please note that experimental features may be disabled / removed at any time.
