Resource View Across Regions Using Amazon EC2 Global View

“ I have checked the documents of AWS to resource view across regions using amazon ec2 global view. Amazon EC2 Global View makes it easy and secure to view the resources across regions. In terms of cost, the solution is cheaper and secure.”

Amazon EC2 Global View enables you to view some of your amazon ec2 and amazon vpc resources across a single aws region or across multiple regions in a single console.

In this post, you will experience the resource view across regions using amazon ec2 global view. Here I have created an ec2 instance with a view of it as a resource in ec2 global view.

Solution overview

The blog post consists of the following phases:

  1. Region Explore or Global Search with Exclude of Resource or Region Based on Requirement Using Amazon EC2 Global View
  2. Output of Global Search

Phase 1: Region Explore or Global Search with Exclude of Resource or Region Based on Requirement Using Amazon EC2 Global View

  1. Open the amazon ec2 global view console, goto region explorer tab and check the summary of all ec2 parameters with vpc related to region specific. Also can verify the resource region counts. We can see other region parameters as well on the same dashboard. Once we goto global search tab, we can filter the region and see resources with existing resource id. Also can select the global search resource and download the csv file.

Pricing

I review the pricing and estimated cost of this example.

Cost of EC2 Instance = $0.0116 per On Demand Linux t2.micro Instance Hour(0.391 Hrs) = $0.00

Cost of Amazon EC2 Global View = $0.00

Cost of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud = $0.005 per In-use public IPv4 address per hour(0.4 Hrs) = $0.00

Total Cost = $0.00

pretty cool seeing it laid out end to end like this - you ever run into any big headaches with scaling this across a ton of regions at once?
