Amazon Q Developer Plugins for AWS Management Console Released
December 12, 2024
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the launch and general availability of Amazon Q Developer plugins for Datadog and Wiz in the AWS Management Console.
When chatting with Amazon Q in the console, customers can access a subset of information from Datadog and Wiz services using natural language. Ask questions like @datadog do I have any active alerts? or @wiz what are my top 3 security issues today? to swiftly identify and fix problems without leaving the console.
Engineers and IT professionals can struggle with tool sprawl throughout an application’s operational lifecycle. Amazon Q Developer’s third-party plugin system works towards creating a single pane of glass for all your SaaS solutions.
Amazon Q in the console uses the prefix you provide to select which plugin to query. This provides additional context on your request and the state of your infrastructure. Key processes include:
- Intent recognition: Amazon Q Developer interprets your chat request’s intent. It searches through relevant APIs it can invoke and selects the correct workflow to get more context.
- API invocation: Amazon Q Developer then calls the appropriate third-party APIs to gather relevant information. Neither the AWS context included in the chat nor any information from your prompt is passed to the third-party.
- Response Generation: After obtaining the enriched context and original prompt, Amazon Q Developer composes a complete prompt. Amazon Q uses this to generate the best response.
- Guardrails: The system checks the response against Amazon Q Developer guardrails to ensure it follows best practices.
This system enables Amazon Q Developer to, understand intent, request additional information, and provide rich assistance across your infrastructure and application operations.
