The process of fixing security flaws is accelerated by generative AI-powered code recommendations, freeing you time to concentrate on higher-value tasks rather than painstakingly going over each line of code to find the right answer.

Infrastructure as code (IaC): AWS CloudFormation (YAML, JSON), AWS CDK (Typescript, Python), and HashiCorp Terraform (HCL) are now supported by Amazon CodeWhisperer. With this upgrade, writing infrastructure code becomes easier for developers and DevOps teams, since the efficiency of IaC script development is improved.
