Amazon Q in action

Have conversations with Amazon Q to explore new AWS capabilities. By asking questions like, “Tell me about Agents for Amazon Bedrock,” you’ll get a description of the feature plus links to relevant materials. Get started on new projects by asking questions like, “What are the ways to build a web app on AWS?” and Amazon Q will respond with a list of relevant services and the advantages of each.

You can ask Amazon Q, “Why can’t I connect to my Amazon EC2 instance using SSH?” Amazon Q will work with VPC Reachability Analyzer to check your complete configuration and provide a diagnosis. A potential diagnosis could be, “This instance appears to be in a private subnet, so public accessibility might need to be established.”

Describe the feature you want implemented in CodeCatalyst, such as “Update the word cloud API to upload the generated image to Amazon S3,” assign it to Amazon Q, and it will break down your prompt into logical, atomic implementation steps. Once you have reviewed and approved, Amazon Q can implement the changes across your application.

Load a workspace in an IDE such as Visual Studio Code with CodeWhisperer, and ask Amazon Q to explain “What does this application do and how is it architected?” Amazon Q will respond with a description of what the application is trying to achieve and the steps involved.
