EC2 and VPC consoles now show related resources for every resource type

Hi, it's Shiichan! This update makes it easier to answer "what is this connected to?" in the console.

What was announced?

AWS What's New says the Amazon EC2, Amazon VPC and AWS Global View consoles now display related resources for all resource types.

Previously, only security groups had an option to view related resources.

You can now see relationships for all EC2 and VPC resource types, including:

The list continues beyond these, so more types are covered. The Related Resources tab has also moved to the console toolbar for easier access.

The announcement gives these examples:

When investigating an EC2 instance issue, you can view its associated EBS volumes, security groups, subnets and route tables without navigating between multiple console pages
Network administrators can trace connections from a subnet to its route tables, network ACLs and instances, streamlining configuration reviews and security audits

It's available in all commercial AWS Regions.

Related resources go from security groups only to every EC2 and VPC resource type
The Related Resources tab moves to the toolbar
Less page-hopping when troubleshooting or reviewing configuration

This is for ops folks who often investigate incidents or audit networks!
