If you are not using the Amplify CLI, a Cognito User Pool and Identity Pool can be used by referencing them in your `amplifyconfiguration.json` file.

```json

    "auth": {
        "plugins": {
            "awsCognitoAuthPlugin": {
                "IdentityManager": {
                    "Default": {}
                },
                "CredentialsProvider": {
                    "CognitoIdentity": {
                        "Default": {

                            "Region": "[REGION]"
                        }
                    }
