AWS default region disable

Hello Sourav,

Regions introduced before March 20, 2019 are enabled by default. AWS originally enabled all new AWS Regions by default, which means you can begin creating and managing resources in these Regions immediately. You cannot enable or disable a Region that is enabled by default. You can control only the below regions that can be enabled or disabled but other regions are enabled by default as mentioned. Reference for more details here

Hello,

In general, we can not disable the default region as some services will force you to certain regions. IAM, S3 for example, when "global" will show in console but there would be specific region associated with in such cases.

However, you can control the default region based on your preference. Default, it will choose the last used region based on the history. This can be changed to any region like,

Go to the top right in AWS console, click on the gear button "Settings", in next page, click 'Edit' of section "Localisation and default region", then you can set your default region of AWS console.

Alternatively try below link, https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/settings/home?region=us-east-1#/localization/edit

Hello Sourav,

I checked internally and found that there is no direct option to disable the default regions enabled by AWS. If you would like to restrict the resource requests based on a region, it will be possible to implement a service control policy. Please refer to the following documentation for a sample SCP regarding the restriction of regions [1].

Further, I recommend to reach out AWS Support if you need more assistance specifically to your specific use case that needs an alternate approach which help for better customer experience.
