CodeWhisperer profiles

A CodeWhisperer profile is the configuration for your company's CodeWhisperer application. It includes decisions you make about the account (such as whether to include suggestions with code references), as well as the users and groups you give access to CodeWhisperer.

The concept of the CodeWhisperer profile can be important if you are changing IAM permissions related to CodeWhisperer. In that situation, the profile is the resource upon which CodeWhisperer acts.

For more information, see Controlling access to AWS resources using policies in the IAM User Guide.

Choosing your encryption key

By default, data collected by CodeWhisperer for the purpose of Security scans is stored using Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB. This data is only stored as long as it's needed for that purpose. The data is encrypted using the data-at-rest encryption capabilities of Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB, with a Builder ID-owned key.

However, administrators of CodeWhisperer Professional have the option of encrypting their company's data (used by CodeWhisperer for the purpose of security scans) with the AWS Key Management Service.

To learn more about AWS KMS, see AWS Key Management Service concepts in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Understanding CodeWhisperer profile tags

You may want to add tags to CodeWhisperer profile in order to more easily track expenses, or to grant IAM permissions.

For more information, see Tagging your AWS resources in the Tagging AWS resources User Guide.
