Configuring SMTP credential on eu-south-1 region (milan)

Question

Hi all,

I have a Gitlab instance installed in an EC2 instance located in eu-south-1 milan region, I'd like to setup  on gitlab the SES smtp credential to allow it to send email.
So I correctly configured the SES on the Milan region and increased the level to production limit, but I have some trouble to setup the smtp credential.
First of all I couldn't find the endpoint smtp in the aws https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/ses.html  list for that specific region, and then on the Milan SES console I don't have the "SMTP settings" to create a new smtp credential.

Is It possible setup SES smtp on eu-south-1 region?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Answer

Regarding setting up SES SMTP credentials in the eu-south-1 region, here are a few things to check:

The eu-south-1 (Milan) region does support Amazon SES. However, not all SES features are available in every region.

You can verify the availability of SMTP credentials and endpoints for a specific region in the AWS documentation.

If SMTP credentials are supported, ensure the IAM user or role you are using to create them has the necessary permissions.

Check that you are using the SES console for the correct region where your resources are located.

Consider using an alternative method of sending emails from your Gitlab instance such as the SES API if SMTP credentials are not available in that region.

Review the SES documentation pages for information on regional availability, limits and supported features to better understand any restrictions.
