Calling public parameters for AWS services, Regions, endpoints, Availability Zones, local zones, and Wavelength Zones in Parameter Store - AWS Systems Manager

Calling public parameters for AWS services, Regions, endpoints, Availability Zones, local zones, and Wavelength Zones in Parameter Store

You can call the AWS Region, service, endpoint, Availability, and Wavelength Zones of public parameters by using the following path.

/aws/service/global-infrastructure

Note

Currently, the path /aws/service/global-infrastructure is supported for queries in the following AWS Regions only:

  • US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1)

  • US East (Ohio) (us-east-2)

  • US West (N. California) (us-west-1)

  • US West (Oregon) (us-west-2)

  • Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) (ap-east-1)

  • Asia Pacific (Mumbai) (ap-south-1)

  • Asia Pacific (Seoul) (ap-northeast-2)

  • Asia Pacific (Singapore) (ap-southeast-1)

  • Asia Pacific (Sydney) (ap-southeast-2)

  • Asia Pacific (Tokyo) (ap-northeast-1)

  • Canada (Central) (ca-central-1)

  • Europe (Frankfurt) (eu-central-1)

  • Europe (Ireland) (eu-west-1)

  • Europe (London) (eu-west-2)

  • Europe (Paris) (eu-west-3)

  • Europe (Stockholm) (eu-north-1)

  • South America (São Paulo) (sa-east-1)

If you are working in a different commercial Region, you can specify a supported Region in your query to view results. For example, if you are working in the Canada West (Calgary) (ca-west-1) Region, you could specify Canada (Central) (ca-central-1) in your query:

aws ssm get-parameters-by-path \ --path /aws/service/global-infrastructure/regions \ --region ca-central-1
View active AWS Regions

You can view a list of all active AWS Regions by using the following command in the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).

Linux & macOS
aws ssm get-parameters-by-path \ --path /aws/service/global-infrastructure/regions \ --query 'Parameters[].Name'
Windows
aws ssm get-parameters-by-path ^ --path /aws/service/global-infrastructure/regions ^ --query Parameters[].Name

The command returns information like the following.
