ARNs for Amazon Web Services in China

In the Beijing and Ningxia Regions, the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) syntax includes a cn. 

arn:aws-cn

If an ARN requires you to specify a region:

  • For the Beijing Region, use cn-north-1.

    Example for Amazon Relational Database Service:

    arn:aws-cn:rds:cn-north-1:123456789012:db:mysql-db

  • For the Ningxia Region, use cn-northwest-1.

    Example for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud:

    arn:aws-cn:ec2:cn-northwest-1:123456789012:volume/vol-1a2b3c4d
