STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES Why build your AI on AWS?

AWS is the only provider that covers the full AI spectrum, from foundation models to specialized infrastructure, with the security and governance required by regulated industries in Canada.

Proven AI foundations

Amazon Bedrock gives you access to leading foundation models, including Anthropic Claude, Amazon Nova, Llama and Mistral, in a secure environment where your data is not used to train third-party models.

From experimentation to production

The AWS ecosystem removes the barriers between prototype and real-world deployment. Kiro, AgentCore, Strands Agents and Amazon Q help accelerate the path from demo to measurable business value.

Canadian sovereignty and compliance

Canadian regions, including ca-central-1 and ca-west-1, end-to-end encryption, session isolation and compliance with PIPEDA, Law 25, HIPAA and PCI-DSS. Your data stays on Canadian soil.

Featured: Kiro The most advanced AI development environment on the market

AWS Kiro bridges the gap between AI coding and real software engineering with a spec-driven approach, advanced context management and an autonomous agent built directly into your terminal.

Kiro IDE: from concept to deployment

Kiro turns a natural-language prompt into structured requirements, system architecture and an implementation plan. It then autonomously executes each task across your codebase, no matter how complex.

Download Kiro →

Spec-driven development

A prompt becomes formal acceptance criteria using EARS notation, followed by architecture and a sequenced task plan with tests. Intent becomes verifiable code.

Agent Hooks: event-based automation

Define agents that trigger every time a file is saved: unit test generation, documentation updates, performance optimization and more, all running in the background.

Native MCP support

Connect Kiro to your databases, APIs, AWS and internal tools through the MCP protocol, including remote MCP servers. Your business context, right where you code.

Steering files: your rules, your DNA

Set your team’s code standards, preferred workflows and architecture conventions. Kiro applies them to every generation, across every project.

Autopilot: long-running autonomous tasks

Delegate complex work across large codebases without giving step-by-step instructions. Kiro works, you supervise and you stay in control.

Compatible with VS Code and Claude Sonnet

Open VSX extensions, themes and VS Code settings are supported. Powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5 and frontier models for strong quality, low latency and optimal cost performance.

$ KIRO CLI: TERMINAL NATIVE Kiro CLI: From prompt to production in your terminal

Access Kiro agents from any terminal, locally or through SSH. Build features, fix bugs and automate your CI/CD pipelines without leaving your workflow.

Parallel multi-step workflows

Multiple agents, each with its own context, running simultaneously with real-time updates.

Headless CI/CD automation

Integrate Kiro CLI into your pipelines to automatically fix build failures, generate PRs and publish patches.

Precise context, precise code

Code intelligence, knowledge base, steering files and MCP tools for production-grade code that matches your exact requirements.

Compatible with JetBrains, Eclipse and Zed through ACP

Synchronize context between Kiro CLI and any IDE that supports the ACP protocol for complete workflow continuity.
