This section contains guides for working with AWS services using Pulumi. If you are unsure which AWS package to
use for your project, see [Choosing a Pulumi AWS provider](/docs/iac/guides/clouds/aws/providers/) for a comparison of the available packages
and when to use each one.

The guides use the following packages:

- [AWS provider (`@pulumi/aws`)](/registry/packages/aws/) — the primary provider for managing AWS resources
- [AWSx (`@pulumi/awsx`)](/registry/packages/awsx/) — higher-level components that implement well-architected patterns for common AWS services
- [AWS API Gateway (`@pulumi/aws-apigateway`)](/registry/packages/aws-apigateway/) — components for building and deploying [Amazon API Gateway](https://aws.amazon.com/api-gateway/) REST APIs
- [EKS (`@pulumi/eks`)](/registry/packages/eks/) — components for creating and managing [Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)](https://aws.amazon.com/eks/) clusters
- [AWS Cloud Control (`@pulumi/aws-native`)](/registry/packages/aws-native/) — provider with coverage of all resources in the AWS Cloud Control API
