What Is an AWS Builder ID?

yeah... you've probably heard of an "AWS Builder ID" but you're not quite sure what it means.

I'm going to break it down nicely so you have a good idea of what it is.

You may or may not have a Builder ID, but if you're reading this on builder.aws.com you do 😉. If not, today is your chance to create one, stick around til the end.

tl;dr: Builder ID is a personal login (your email) for most AWS tools, including AWS Builder Center, Amazon Quick and AWS Skill Builder. And now, for the new AWS experience too!


We just the launched new AWS experience this week, which makes it easier to get started with AWS, and Builder ID is also your AWS sign-in and billing identity. No root user or IAM user needed.

You can sign up with an email or login providers like Google, Apple, Github, and Amazon. If you didn't already have a Builder ID, one will be created for you as part of this process.

Once you're signed in you can create your first AWS project build the next awesome idea.

Have more ideas, make another project!

Give the new exp a try and let us what you think.

Try the new AWS experience


As always, happy coding 😎!
