Previously, enabling multi-Region support required multiple manual steps: creating a customer managed KMS key, configuring key policies, and adding Regions individually. The new setup presents three configuration choices — single-Region, multi-Region, or custom — where the multi-Region option automatically creates a customer managed multi-Region KMS key and replicates the instance to an additional Region, improving resilience. The feature is available in 17 enabled-by-default commercial AWS Regions. Standard KMS charges apply for the auto-created key; IAM Identity Center itself has no additional cost. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I enable multi-Region support in AWS IAM Identity Center for a new organization instance? Choose the multi-Region instance option when creating a new organization instance in a supported Region, which enables multi-Region support in one click. This automatically creates a customer managed multi-Region KMS key and replicates the instance to an additional Region, avoiding the previous manual process of creating a KMS key, configuring key policies, and adding Regions individually. _Track AWS identity infrastructure changes like this as you plan resilient account access on daily.dev._ ### What are the three instance configuration options when creating a new IAM Identity Center organization instance? The three options are single-Region instance, multi-Region instance, and custom instance. Single-Region keeps everything in one Region, multi-Region auto-creates a customer managed multi-Region KMS key and replicates to a second Region for resilience, and custom lets administrators configure Region settings individually, including reusing an existing customer managed KMS key. _daily.dev helps engineers weighing AWS configuration trade-offs stay current on identity center options._ ### Does AWS charge extra for enabling multi-Region support in IAM Identity Center? IAM Identity Center itself is provided at no additional cost, but standard AWS KMS charges apply for the customer managed multi-Region key that gets created when enabling the multi-Region instance option. This applies within the 17 enabled-by-default commercial AWS Regions supported for organization instances. _Budget-conscious teams evaluating AWS identity setups can follow cost-relevant updates like this on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@agustinbarrientos** · 0 upvotes > Maybe run the failover drill before calling the second Region ready **@trevorsuna** · 0 upvotes > The one-click path removes a lot of easy-to-miss setup work. I’d still treat regional failover as something to test regularly, especially KMS access and recovery behavior, because a replicated configuration only becomes resilience once the runbook is proven. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AWS IAM Identity Center now supports customer-managed KMS keys for encryption at rest](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-iam-identity-center-now-supports-customer-managed-kms-keys-for-encryption-at-rest-cxskgwaqc) · AWS · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS IAM Identity Center is now available in the Asia Pacific \(New Zealand\) AWS Region](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-iam-identity-center-is-now-available-in-the-asia-pacific-new-zealand-aws-region-zcnsgdnst) · AWS · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Improve your application resilience with Amazon Cognito multi-Region replication](https://daily.dev/posts/improve-your-application-resilience-with-amazon-cognito-multi-region-replication-zblyozsz1) · AWS · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#cloud](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-iam-identity-center-supports-one-click-multi-region-option-for-new-organization-instances-ey3e4ucby) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"AWS IAM Identity Center supports one-click multi-Region option for new organization instances","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/aws-iam-identity-center-supports-one-click-multi-region-option-for-new-organization-instances-ey3e4ucby","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/aws-iam-identity-center-supports-one-click-multi-region-option-for-new-organization-instances-ey3e4ucby"},"datePublished":"2026-08-07T17:05:57.339Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:40:39.907Z","description":"AWS IAM Identity Center now offers a one-click multi-Region option when creating new organization instances.
