IAM Identity Center Regions supported by Amazon Q Developer

The workforce users that you want to subscribe to Amazon Q Developer Pro must have identities in an IAM Identity Center instance (or a connected identity provider) in one of the Regions listed on the Supported Regions page, except for opt-in Regions. If your users have identities in an IAM Identity Center instance in an opt-in Region, they can't be subscribed, which means they will only have access to the Free tier in the AWS Management Console, and on AWS apps and websites, and they won’t have access to Amazon Q in the IDE or at the command line.

Amazon Q stores the subscriptions of IAM Identity Center workforce users in the same Region as your IAM Identity Center instance.

Regardless of the IAM Identity Center Region, data is stored in the Region where you install the Amazon Q Developer profile.

For more information about Amazon Q Developer profiles, see Amazon Q Developer profile.

For more information about data protection, see Data protection in Amazon Q Developer.

Supported Regions for the Q Developer console and Q Developer profile

The Amazon Q Developer console and Amazon Q Developer profile are supported in the following Regions:

  • US East (N. Virginia)

  • Europe (Frankfurt)

For more information about the Amazon Q Developer profile, see Amazon Q Developer profile.

Note

The following features aren’t supported for Q Developer profiles created in the Europe (Frankfurt) Region:

Subscribing users to Amazon Q Developer Pro across AWS Regions

When you subscribe an IAM Identity Center workforce user to Amazon Q Developer Pro, you might need to work in two different AWS Regions:

  • One Region for the IAM Identity Center instance (where user identities are managed, and where subscriptions are stored)

  • Another Region for the Amazon Q Developer console (where the Amazon Q Developer profile, customizations, and subscriptions are managed)

The Regions are not always the same because the Amazon Q Developer console is supported in fewer Regions than IAM Identity Center.

In a scenario where your IAM Identity Center is in a different Region from your Amazon Q Developer console, use the guidance in the following example to subscribe users.

Example subscription process in a multi-Region scenario

Let's walk through subscribing a user where:

  • The IAM Identity Center instance is in US West (N. California).

  • The Amazon Q Developer console is in US East (N. Virginia). This is the closest Region to the IAM Identity Center instance that the Amazon Q Developer console supports.

To subscribe the user

  1. Add the user in your IAM Identity Center instance in US West (N. California).

  2. Switch to the Amazon Q Developer console in the US East (N. Virginia).

  3. Subscribe the user through the Amazon Q Developer console in US East (N. Virginia).

Upon being subscribed:

  • The user's subscription is created in US West (N. California).

  • The user's subscription is associated with their user entry in US West (N. California).

  • The user's subscription is associated with the Amazon Q Developer profile in US East (N. Virginia).

Additionally, any data that Amazon Q Developer needs to store on the user's behalf will be stored in US East (N. Virginia). For more information about data storage and security, see Encryption at rest.
