AWS UXC Console Customization Is Now Available in Every Commercial Region!

Hi, I'm Shii-chan! Today I found a small but handy update to the AWS Management Console, so let me walk you through it.

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

What was announced?

According to AWS What's New, AWS User Experience Customization (UXC) is now available in all commercial AWS Regions. UXC lets account administrators customize how the Management Console looks and behaves. Specifically, you can configure:

  • A custom color for the account
  • Which services and Regions show up in the console

The story so far

Until now, UXC was only available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. That meant if you wanted to manage these settings programmatically, you had to direct your API calls specifically to US East (N. Virginia) — a bit of a hassle if your team operates primarily out of other Regions.

What changes

With this update, you can now manage account customizations from any commercial AWS Region using the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS CloudFormation. That means you can manage your console settings right alongside your existing infrastructure automation, in the same Region — great news for teams that like to keep everything consistent with infrastructure as code.

Dive Deep

This update is mainly about expanding Regional availability rather than adding new capabilities — you can still only configure the custom account color and the service/Region visibility settings. UXC remains available at no additional charge.

Wrap-up

  • UXC is now available in all commercial AWS Regions
  • Previously, programmatic configuration only worked through US East (N. Virginia)
  • You can now manage it via the AWS CLI, SDKs, or CloudFormation from any Region
  • No additional charge

If you manage multi-Region infrastructure as code and want your console branding and visibility settings to follow the same workflow, this update is for you.
