Create Amazon EC2 resources using an AWS SDK

AWS provides software development kits (SDK) for many popular programming languages. An SDK makes development more efficient by providing the following:

• Pre-built components and libraries that you can incorporate into your applications

• Language-specific tools, such as compilers and debuggers

• Cryptographic signing of service requests

• Request retries

• Error response handling

Code examples for the Amazon EC2 API

The code examples provided by AWS show you how to use an API and accomplish specific tasks. For examples for the Amazon EC2 API, see Code examples for Amazon EC2. For additional examples, see Find code examples for the AWS SDKs or aws-doc-sdk-examples on github.
