AWS SDK Code Examples

This repository contains code examples that demonstrate how to use the AWSK SDKs to interact with AWS services.

Many examples are injected into the AWS Documentation.

How this repository is organized

Code examples for each language's SDK can be found within the following subdirectories. The examples here demonstrate the most common uses of the SDK for each language.

SDK	folder	SDK version
.NET	dotnetv3/	3.5+
.NET	dotnet/	<3.5
C++	cpp/	1
Go	gov2/	2
Go	go/	1
Java	javav2/	2
Java	java/	1
JavaScript	javascriptv3/	3
JavaScript	javascript/	2
Kotlin	kotlin/	preview
PHP	php/	3
Python	python/	3
Ruby	ruby/	3
Rust	rust_dev_preview/	preview
Swift	swift/	preview

Within each directory, you will find SDK-specific instructions for understanding and invoking example code.

Additional directories

directory	purpose	usage
/applications	Contains the non-language-specific components of example applications, which show how the SDKs can be used in the context of a production-like application.	To view the language-specific components for each example application, see the `cross-service` folder in the sub-directory for your desired language (such as `python/cross-service`).
/test	Contains all components supporting the custom test automation framework used to routinely test the code in this repository.	Deploys to AWS as a polyglot container-based integration testing solution. WARNING: Still under active construction as of 2023.
/resources	Contains shared components used by many code examples across this repository.	Deploys as frontend (/clients) or backend (/cdk or /cfn) components.

Invoke example code

To invoke this example code, you must have an AWS account. For more information about creating an account, see AWS Free Tier.

You must also have AWS credentials configured. For steps on using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to configure credentials, see CLI Configuration basics
