AWS Service Reference Information now supports SDK Operation to Action mapping

Posted on: Nov 4, 2025

AWS is expanding service reference information to include which operations are supported by AWS services and which IAM permissions are needed to call a given operation. This will help you answer questions such as “I want to call a specific AWS service operation, which IAM permissions do I need?”

You can automate the retrieval of service reference information, eliminating manual effort and ensuring your policies align with the latest service updates. You can also incorporate this service reference information directly into your policy management tools and processes for a seamless integration. This feature is offered at no additional cost. To get started, refer to the documentation on programmatic service reference information.
