AWS CodeWhisperer console shows an error and does not allow setup

Question

I am trying to set up CodeWhisperer Professional and enable it in the AWS CodeWhisperer console.

When I go to https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/codewhisperer/home?region=us-east-1, I get the following error message displayed:

![Error Screenshot](/media/postImages/original/IM1Ar9U30dQJ6sC80GFXnJPA)

I have followed the guide [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codewhisperer/latest/userguide/as-account-admin.html) to set up a CodeWhisperer administrator through IAM Identity Center and tried through this user as well. I have also logged into the console as the root account user but always get the error screen and the button to set up CodeWhisperer never appears, just a spinner. There is no useful information in the error message.

My Control tower and IAM Identity Center are set up in the af-south-1 (Cape Town) region if that is relevent.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Accepted Answer

Hi Neal, currently it's not possible to use CodeWhisperer with IAM Identity Center set up in an opt-in region. This is described in the warning in the CodeWhisperer user guide.

af-south-1 (Cape Town) is an opt-in region as described in the AWS documentation here.

af-south-1 (Cape Town) is an opt-in region as described in the [AWS documentation here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/opt-in-region-considerations.html).
