Region expansion

AWS UXC now available in all commercial AWS Regions

AWS UXC allows account administrators to customize the console experience, now manageable from any commercial AWS Region using AWS CLI, SDKs, or CloudFormation.

AWS User Experience Customization (UXC) is now available in all commerce regions, allowing account administrators to set custom account colors and control services and regions displayed in the AWS Management Console. Previously limited to the US East (N. Virginia) region and requiring API calls there, UXC can now be managed from any commerce region using AWS CLI, AWS SDK, or AWS CloudFormation, simplifying integration with existing infrastructure automation. UXC remains free of charge; see AWS UXC documentation for details.

Why it matters

UXC is a feature that allows account administrators to customize the AWS Management Console experience by adjusting its appearance and displayed items. This update enables customers to manage settings from any Region, simplifying integration with infrastructure automation.
