Amazon Q Developer introduces a new, simplified setup experience for Pro tier subscriptions

Posted on: Feb 6, 2025

Today, we are excited to announce a new onboarding experience that makes it easy to set up and manage Amazon Q Developer Pro tier subscriptions. The workflow on Amazon Q console has been redesigned to provide a friendlier 2-step setup for users or teams that are looking to try out Amazon Q Developer in their Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

AWS account administrators can create subscriptions using the Amazon Q console for their standalone or AWS Organizations member accounts using a guided setup to create local users and configure Amazon Q Developer managed applications. Once the setup is complete, subscribed users will receive details on setting up credentials to start using Amazon Q Developer. After installation of the Amazon Q Developer plugin in their preferred IDE, users can leverage context-aware code recommendations and enhanced development capabilities to accelerate their software development. Administrators in the Organizations management accounts will continue to maintain their existing IAM Identity Center capabilities to manage workforce access to Amazon Q Developer.
