Identity Federation for AWS is mainly a system integration and API add-on, which exposes resources via a REST API - all resources can be used like the regular JIRA REST API and are exposed via an URL keyed by the add-on namespace:
/jira/rest/identity-federation-aws/1.0

The easiest way to explore the API is by means of the Atlassian REST API Browser, simply select the Identity Federation for AWS resources.
