Calling public parameters for Amazon Web Services, Regions, endpoints, Availability Zones, local zones, and Wavelength Zones - Amazon Systems Manager
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Calling public parameters for Amazon Web Services, Regions, endpoints, Availability Zones, local zones, and Wavelength Zones

You can call the Amazon Web Services Region, service, endpoint, Availability, and Wavelength Zones of public parameters by using the following path.

/aws/service/global-infrastructure

Note

Currently, the path /aws/service/global-infrastructure is supported for queries in the following Amazon Web Services Regions only:

  • US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)

  • US East (Ohio) (us-east-2)

  • US West (N. California) (us-west-1)

  • US West (Oregon) (us-west-2)

  • Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) (ap-east-1)

  • Asia Pacific (Mumbai) (ap-south-1)

  • Asia Pacific (Seoul) (ap-northeast-2)

  • Asia Pacific (Singapore) (ap-southeast-1)

  • Asia Pacific (Sydney) (ap-southeast-2)

  • Asia Pacific (Tokyo) (ap-northeast-1)

  • Canada (Central) (ca-central-1)

  • Europe (Frankfurt) (eu-central-1)

  • Europe (Ireland) (eu-west-1)

  • Europe (London) (eu-west-2)

  • Europe (Paris) (eu-west-3)

  • Europe (Stockholm) (eu-north-1)

  • South America (São Paulo) (sa-east-1)

If you are working in a different commercial Region, you can specify a supported Region in your query to view results. For example, if you are working in the Canada West (Calgary) (ca-west-1) Region, you could specify Canada (Central) (ca-central-1) in your query:

aws ssm get-parameters-by-path \
    --path /aws/service/global-infrastructure/regions \
    --region ca-central-1
View active Amazon Web Services Regions

You can view a list of all active Amazon Web Services Regions by using the following command in the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI).

You can view just the names of local zone parameters by using the following command.

Linux & macOS
aws ssm get-parameters-by-path \
    --path /aws/service/global-infrastructure/local-zones/usw2-lax1-az1 \
    --query 'Parameters[].Name | sort(@)'
Windows
aws ssm get-parameters-by-path ^
    --path /aws/service/global-infrastructure/local-zones/use1-bos1-az1 ^
    --query "Parameters[].Name | sort(@)"
