AWS added AWS Local Zones to the Region selector in the Management Console, allowing customers to see and select their opted-in Local Zones easily. Selecting a Local Zone directs users to its parent Region's Console page for resource management, streamlining navigation for operations spanning multiple Local Zones linked to different Regions.

This unified experience aids customers in quickly accessing resources deployed in Local Zones without separate navigation steps. The feature is accessible across all public AWS Regions supporting Local Zones, improving operational efficiency when managing edge computing locations adjacent to AWS Regions.
