AWS Resource Explorer
#75 · Level 2 · Scaling and resilience · Monitoring and operationsConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Resource Explorer is a search service for finding your AWS resources. It builds an index (a list made for searching) in each Region. If you make one Region the aggregator index, information from all Regions gathers there, so you can search everything from one place. You can search by typing a name, tag or resource type, just like a web search. It only finds and shows resources; it does not change their settings.
