Requires an active AWS account, running examples creates real AWS resources and may incur charges.

In plain English

This repository is a large collection of code examples showing how to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) through their official software development kits (SDKs). AWS provides cloud computing services, and its SDKs are the programming libraries developers use to interact with those services from their own code. Rather than explaining how AWS works in plain text, this repository provides working code snippets that developers can study or adapt. The examples cover nearly every major programming language. At the time of the README, that list includes .NET, C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, and Swift. Each language has its own folder within the repository, and within each folder the examples are organized by which AWS service they interact with. Many of these snippets are pulled directly into the official AWS documentation, so when a developer reads a "how to" guide on the AWS website, the code block they see often comes from this repository. The repository is maintained by Amazon and follows an open contribution model. Developers can submit new examples or request missing ones via GitHub issues. The maintainers prioritize clarity, relevance, and feasibility when evaluating requests, and they ask that large example requests be submitted at least two months before a target date. There are a few things to be aware of before running any of the code here. You need an active AWS account because the examples actually call live AWS services, and some of those services charge money based on usage. The README explicitly warns that examples can create or delete real AWS resources, so running them carelessly against a production account could cause damage. The examples are intended for learning and development, not as production-ready code. The license is Apache 2.0, which allows open reuse with attribution.
