Awl is a Golang AWS SDK wrapper for lazy coders. It doesn't cover everything, or even most things. In fact, the vast majority of the AWS SDK is not available through Awl.

Awl is all about being lazy. It requires very minimal setup, and lazily provisions API clients on demand. This probably greatly increases the risk of runtime errors in complex applications. Awl is not meant for these purposes.

Awl also forces you to use assumed roles to do any work. It doesn't help you set up your initial credentials (it will pick things up from the standard places via the SDK of course), and it requires that you give it a role to assume before it will do anything for you. If you are not a fan of that approach, Awl may not be the library for you.

Awl is in the very earliest stages of development. You should probably avoid it.

Awl is intended to be for lazy coders who aren't writing ultra-high reliability programs, but instead just want to get something done and not spend too much time futzing with the nits of the AWS SDK. Seriously, though, this is not the library to use if you are deploying high-stakes non-trivial production level services.

However, given its extremely early stage of development, you probably still shouldn't use it.
