AWS has decided to discontinue AWS Proton, with support ending on October 7, 2026. New customers will not be able to sign up after October 7, 2025, but existing customers can continue to use the service until October 7, 2026.For more information, see [AWS Proton Service Deprecation and Migration Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/proton/latest/userguide/proton-end-of-support.html).

# CreateRepository
<a name="API_CreateRepository"></a>

Create and register a link to a repository. AWS Proton uses the link to repeatedly access the repository, to either push to it (self-managed provisioning) or pull from it (template sync). You can share a linked repository across multiple resources (like environments using self-managed provisioning, or synced templates). When you create a repository link, AWS Proton creates a [service-linked role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/proton/latest/userguide/using-service-linked-roles.html) for you.

For more information, see [Self-managed provisioning](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/proton/latest/userguide/ag-works-prov-methods.html#ag-works-prov-methods-self), [Template bundles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/proton/latest/userguide/ag-template-authoring.html#ag-template-bundles), and [Template sync configurations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/proton/latest/userguide/ag-template-sync-configs.html) in the * AWS Proton User Guide*.
