AWS IAM Identity Center adds independent 90-days session duration for Amazon Q Developer

News

The article discusses updates to AWS IAM Identity Center, allowing administrators to set a separate, extended 90-day session duration for the Amazon Q Developer integrated development environment (IDE).

Specifically, the article covers:

  • AWS IAM Identity Center now allows setting a 90-day session duration specifically for Amazon Q Developer, separate from other integrated applications and the AWS access portal
  • Previously, Q Developer session duration matched other applications, from 15 minutes to 90 days
  • Many customers preferred shorter session durations for security, but developers found frequent re-authentication disruptive
  • The new option provides flexibility to define a longer session duration just for the Q Developer IDE
  • IAM Identity Center manages workforce access to AWS applications and accounts
  • The update is available at no additional cost in AWS regions
