Amazon Q
Amazon Q is a family of generative-AI assistants. For current exam questions, distinguish developer/AWS assistance from the older enterprise assistant.
AI Practitioner focus
- Amazon Q Developer assists with understanding, building, operating, and transforming software and AWS workloads. It is available in IDEs, the command line, the AWS console, and related development experiences.
- Typical Q Developer capabilities include code explanation/generation, debugging, tests, security scanning, AWS architecture/resource questions, and software transformation.
- Amazon Q Business grounds answers in enterprise data, respects source permissions, and can return citations and perform configured actions.
- Current status: Q Business stopped accepting new customers after July 31, 2026; existing customers remain supported, and AWS points new comparable work-assistant use cases to Amazon Quick.
- Compare with Kiro for a spec-driven agentic IDE, Amazon Bedrock for building custom GenAI applications, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for operating custom agents.
