Checking which Amazon Web Services Regions have Resource Explorer turned
on
You can find out which Amazon Web Services Regions have Amazon Resource Explorer turned on by checking which Regions
contain an index for Resource Explorer. To view which Regions have an index, use the procedures on this
page.
Users can search for resources in only those
Regions that have Resource Explorer turned on. You can also create an aggregator index in one
Region to support searching for resources in all of your Regions. Resource Explorer replicates
resource information to the Region with the aggregator index from all other Regions that
contain a Resource Explorer index. Users can't use Resource Explorer to discover resources in Regions that
don't have an index.
