After using AWS for more than 10 years in various capacities, I've never seen that the console is available in multiple regions! Sometimes it is dog slow for me when I'm in a various different geographic locations, I hope this newly learned fact will make my experience slightly better in the future, thanks for sharing that!
It does make me wonder though, why not automatically redirect people to the console that is closest to them? They could done anything from Anycast DNS to showing a simple little notification showing people there was an alternative possibly closer to them when logging in, but as far as I know, nothing is done about this.
- everfrustrated 4y agoGP is a little confused. The AWS console always redirects you to the the console hosted in the same region as the resources you're viewing. But the initial login request to AWS goes via us-east-1 by default. AWS has more recently published the list of login endpoints to use should us-east-1 be offline.
