AWS SDK Code Examples
This repository contains code examples that demonstrate how to use the AWS 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.
Within each directory, you will find SDK-specific instructions for understanding and invoking example code.
NOTE
In alignment with our SDKs and Tools Maintenance Policy, the AWS SDK for Java v1.x will enter maintenance mode on July 31, 2024, and reach end-of-support on December 31, 2025.
For more information, see Announcing end-of-support for AWS SDK for Java v1.x.
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
⚠️ Usage disclaimer
These code examples interact with services that may incur charges to your AWS account. For more information, see AWS Pricing.
Additionally, example code might theoretically modify or delete existing AWS resources. As a matter of due diligence, do the following:
- Be aware of the resources that these examples create or delete.
- Be aware of the costs that might be charged to your account as a result.
- Back up your important data.
