AWS amazonq: Rebrand Amazon Q console experience as AWS assistant; redirect docs

Service: amazonq · 2026-11-06 · Documentation low

File: amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/q-on-aws.md

Summary

Rewrites the Amazon Q Developer overview page to reflect that the console/console mobile experience is now the 'AWS assistant', replaces the Free/Pro tier authentication and troubleshooting guidance with links to the AWS assistant User Guide, and updates the Support chat link text. No security content added or removed.

Security assessment

The change is purely a product-rebranding and documentation-relocation edit (removing tier sign-in/troubleshooting text in favor of links to the AWS assistant User Guide). It neither describes a vulnerability nor adds security guidance, so it has no direct security impact.
