Choosing your Region
For many services, you can choose an AWS Region that specifies where your resources
are managed. Regions are sets of AWS resources located in the same geographical area.
You don't need to choose a Region for the AWS Management Console
Note
If you have created AWS resources but you don't see those resources in the console, the console might be displaying resources from a different Region. Some resources (such as Amazon EC2 instances) are specific to the Region where they were created.
