Section titled “Concept”AWS SDKs are libraries for many programming languages (Python, Java, .NET, JavaScript and so on) that let you use AWS from your own code. Every AWS service’s API is really a web request. The SDK does the work of building these requests, adding a signature to each request to verify identity, and reading the response. The SDK also handles common hassles such as trying again after a failure (retry). As a result, the developer just calls functions in a familiar language.
