This topics show how you can use the AWS Cloud9 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to work with code in Amazon Q Developer.
What is Amazon Q?
Amazon Q Developer is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) powered conversational assistant that can help you understand, build, extend, and operate AWS applications. In the context of an integrated AWS coding environment, Amazon Q can generate code recommendations based on developers' code, as well as their comments in natural language. Amazon Q has the most support for Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, Go, PHP, Rust, Kotlin, and SQL, as well as the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) languages JSON (AWS CloudFormation), YAML (AWS CloudFormation), HCL (Terraform), and CDK (Typescript, Python). It also supports code generation for Ruby, C++, C, Shell, and Scala. For examples of how Amazon Q integrates with AWS Cloud9 and displays code suggestions in the AWS Cloud9 IDE, see Code Examples in the Amazon Q Developer User Guide.
For more information on using Amazon Q with AWS Cloud9, see the Amazon Q Developer User Guide.
AWS Identity and Access Management permissions for AWS Cloud9
For Amazon Q to provide recommendations in the AWS Cloud9 console, you must enable the
correct IAM permissions for either your IAM user or role. You must add the
codewhisperer:GenerateRecommendations permission, as outlined in the
sample IAM policy below:
Note
The codewhisperer prefix is a legacy name from a service that merged
with Amazon Q Developer. For more information, see Amazon Q Developer rename - Summary of changes
.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AmazonQDeveloperPermissions",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["codewhisperer:GenerateRecommendations"],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}It is best practice to use IAM policies to grant restrictive permissions to IAM principals.
