Workday is enhancing the Workday Cloud Platform (WCP) for Extend Professional customers, enabling you to easily use third-party capabilities to supercharge your Extend applications. These platform enhancements jumpstart building Extend apps with Amazon Web Services (AWS), while delivering best practice security control configuration of both platforms.

Workday provides pre-provisioned AWS accounts configured to optimally work with Workday and:

-   [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/): Cloud object storage.
-   [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/): Synchronous function calls from Orchestrate.
-   [Amazon EventBridge](https://aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/): Asynchronous processing of events.
-   [Amazon Rekognition](https://aws.amazon.com/rekognition/): Image and video analysis.
-   [Amazon Comprehend](https://aws.amazon.com/comprehend/): Document analysis using natural language processing.
-   [Amazon Textract](https://aws.amazon.com/textract/): Extract text from documents.
-   [Amazon Translate](https://aws.amazon.com/translate/): Language translation using trained neural networks.


Workday also provides Orchestrate components to get and store Amazon S3 objects, invoke AWS Lambda functions, and put events on Amazon EventBridge.

When you use the Extend native integration with Amazon Web Services, you can only use a Workday-provided AWS account. You can't use your own AWS account. The Workday-provided AWS account can only be accessed via Orchestrate at runtime.

<b>Note:</b> Account egress is not allowed. Example: Using Workday APIs from AWS Lambda.
