This article announces the general availability of AWS Console-to-Code, a tool that allows users to convert their actions in the AWS Management Console into reusable code.

Specifically, the article covers:

• New features in the GA version, including support for more services (Amazon RDS and Amazon VPC), a simplified user experience, the ability to preview code without creating resources, and improved code generation powered by Amazon Q's machine learning models.
• A step-by-step guide on using Console-to-Code to record actions like launching an EC2 instance, generate the corresponding AWS CLI command, and modify it as needed.
• How to generate infrastructure-as-code (IaC) in the form of AWS CDK (Python, Java, TypeScript) or AWS CloudFormation templates (YAML or JSON) from recorded actions.
• The ability to preview code directly from the EC2 and Auto Scaling group launch experiences without creating the resources.
• Things to know, such as the free quota for code generation, the recommendation to test generated code before deployment, and the limitations on recorded actions.
• Conclusion: AWS Console-to-Code is now generally available, providing an easy way to convert console actions into reusable code for infrastructure automation.
