  • Provides high-level, intent-based APIs for creating and managing Cognito Identity Pools
  • Automatically handles role and permission creation for authenticated and unauthenticated users
  • Supports multiple identity providers like social login, OpenID Connect, and Cognito user pools
  • Reduces boilerplate code and complexity compared to previous L1 CloudFormation resources
