# Supported AWS Regions for the AWS assistant
<a name="regions"></a>

This topic lists the AWS Regions where you can use the AWS assistant. For more information about Regions, see [Specify which AWS Regions your account can use](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-regions.html) in the *AWS Account Management Reference Guide*.

Your requests might be processed in a different Region from the Region where you use the AWS assistant. For more information, see [Cross-Region processing in the AWS assistant](cross-region-processing.md). For information about where data is stored, see [Data storage in the AWS assistant](data-storage.md).

**Note**  
If a request needs information from an [opt-in Region (Region that is disabled by default)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glossary/latest/reference/glos-chap.html#optinregion) that isn't listed on this page, the AWS assistant can call that Region. To control which Regions the AWS assistant can call, see [Allow the AWS assistant to perform actions in specific Regions](security-iam-examples.md#iam-example-some-regions).
