AWS CloudShell extends most recent capabilities to all commercial Regions

Posted on: Sep 30, 2024

AWS CloudShell now supports Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) support, improved environment start times, and support for Docker environments in all commercial Regions where CloudShell is live. Previously, these features were only available in a limited set of CloudShell’s live commercial Regions. These features increase the productivity of CloudShell customers and enable a consistent experience across all CloudShell commercial Regions.

CloudShell VPC support allows you to create CloudShell environments in a VPC, which enables you to use CloudShell securely within the same subnet as other resources in your VPC without the need for additional network configuration. Start times have been improved, enabling customers to begin using CloudShell more quickly. With the Docker integration, CloudShell users can initialize Docker containers on demand and connect to them to prototype or deploy Docker based resources with AWS CDK Toolkit.

These features are now supported in all AWS Commercial Regions where AWS CloudShell is available today. For more information about the AWS Regions where AWS CloudShell is available, see the AWS Region table.

Learn more about these expanded capabilities in the CloudShell Documentation, including specific entries on VPC Support and the Docker integration.
