What is the AWS Management Console?

The AWS Management Console is a web application that
comprises and refers to a broad collection of service consoles for managing AWS resources.
When you first sign in, you see the console home page. The home page provides access to each
service console and offers a single place to access the information you need to perform your
AWS related tasks. It also lets you customize the Console Home experience by adding,
removing, and rearranging widgets such as Recently visited,
AWS Health, Trusted Advisor, and more.

Note

The language selection option has moved to the new Unified Settings page. For more
information, see Changing the language of the AWS Management Console.

The individual service consoles, on the other hand, offer a wide range of tools for cloud
computing, as well as information about your account and about your billing.

Using the device of your choice

The AWS Management Console has been designed to work on
tablets as well as other kinds of devices:

• Horizontal and vertical space is maximized to show more on your screen.

   

• Buttons and selectors are larger for a better touch experience.

The AWS Management Console is also available as an app for Android and iOS. This app provides
mobile-relevant tasks that are a good companion to the full web experience. For example, you
can easily view and manage your existing Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon CloudWatch alarms from your
phone.

You can download the AWS Console mobile app from Amazon
Appstore, Google Play, or iTunes.
