AWS is expanding service reference information to include annotations for service actions, starting with action properties. Action properties provide context to indicate what an action is capable of, such as write or list capabilities, when you use it in a policy. Service reference information streamlines automation of policy management workflows, helping you retrieve available actions across AWS services from machine-readable files. Whether you are a security administrator establishing guardrails for workloads or a developer ensuring appropriate access to applications, you can now more easily identify the scope for each AWS service.
You can automate the retrieval of service reference information, eliminating manual effort and ensuring your policies align with the latest service updates. You can also incorporate this service reference directly into your policy management tools and processes for a seamless integration. This feature is offered at no additional cost. To get started, refer to the documentation on programmatic service reference information.
