Announcing Capability Insights for AWS, an open-source solution for regional capabilities
Today, AWS announces the launch of Capability Insights, an open-source solution that enables you to deploy regional capabilities data inside your own Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This self-hosted dashboard addresses the needs of teams building multi-Region architectures requiring regional capabilities data deployed as infrastructure they own, inside their network, and under their governance. The solution is designed for organizations with data residency requirements, compliance teams needing internal reporting, and teams planning regional expansion or multi-Region recovery strategies.
The dashboard auto-refreshes every 24 hours with AWS capabilities data across all Regions, covering services, features, API operations, and CloudFormation resource types. The Workload Analysis component scans your AWS CloudTrail logs and AWS CloudFormation stacks to filter 200+ services down to the number of services your account actually uses, reducing multi-week gap analysis to quick reviews. All data remains within your VPC perimeter, supporting compliance and data residency requirements while providing full ownership and control over the infrastructure hosting the regional capabilities data.
Capability Insights for AWS can be deployed in any AWS Region where the required services (AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, Amazon Athena, and AWS Glue) are available. The solution uses standard AWS service pricing with no additional licensing costs.
