Region support for AWS Organizations
AWS Organizations is available in all AWS commercial Regions, AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and China Regions.
For a list of functionality differences in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, see AWS Organizations in AWS GovCloud (US).
For a list of functionality differences in China Regions, see AWS Organizations in China
The service endpoints for Organizations are located:
In US East (N. Virginia) for commercial organizations
In AWS GovCloud (US-West) for AWS GovCloud (US) organizations
In China (Ningxia) for China organizations, operated by Ningxia Western Cloud Data Technology Co. Ltd (NWCD).
All organization entities are globally accessible, except for organizations managed in China, similar to how AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) works today. You do not need to specify an AWS Region when you create and manage your organization, but you will need to create a separate organization for accounts used in China. Users in your AWS accounts can use AWS services in any geographic Region where that service is available.
Note
Tag policies are only supported in a subset of Regions
Tag policies are a type of policy that can help you standardize tags across resources in your organization's accounts. Tag policies are only supported in a subset of Regions where Organizations is supported. For a list of Regions where tag policies are supported, see Tag policies | Support Regions.
