What was announced?
According to AWS's What's New, AWS Global View in the AWS Management Console now offers an interactive map view, giving you a visual way to explore AWS Global Infrastructure.
The story so far
Previously, AWS Global View only let you check AWS locations by scrolling through a list. As the number of regions and Local Zones grew, it got harder to get a quick sense of the overall picture.
What changes
With this update, you can now toggle freely between the map view and the existing list view. Selecting the map view plots all AWS Regions and AWS Local Zones on an interactive map.
That makes it possible to visualize, at a glance, both the AWS locations you already have enabled and the full range of locations available to you, helping you make more informed infrastructure planning decisions.
Dive Deep
This map view is available across all public AWS Regions. To try it out, head to the Regions and Zones page in the AWS Global View console. See the AWS Global View documentation for more details.
