Getting started with the Infrastructure Composer console
Note
End of support notice: On December 7, 2026, the standalone AWS Infrastructure Composer console will no longer be available. We have replaced Infrastructure Composer with an improved visual IaC editor on the AWS console pages where it was previously embedded. The full Infrastructure Composer experience remains available via the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. For more information, see AWS Infrastructure Composer end of support.
Use the topics in this section to set up AWS Infrastructure Composer and learn how to design an application using its visual canvas. The tour and tutorials in this section are shown in the Infrastructure Composer console, which is the default user experience. The topics in this section shows you how to complete pre-requisites for using Infrastructure Composer, use the Infrastructure Composer console, load and modify a project, and build your first application.
Infrastructure Composer is also available from the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code and in CloudFormation console mode. Experiences between tools are generally the same but there are some differences between each. For details on using Infrastructure Composer in each of these tools, see Where you can use Infrastructure Composer.
