<p>AWS IAM Identity Center has introduced a multi-region replication feature to improve account access and application use across multiple AWS Regions. This enhancement allows organizations to replicate their identity configurations from a primary AWS Region to additional regions, bolstering resiliency and ensuring workforce access continuity even if the primary region encounters disruptions. Identities, entitlements, and configurations are automatically replicated across regions. Administrators can deploy applications in multiple regions and assign users while managing configurations from the primary region.</p>
<p>The multi-region replication supports active access portal endpoints available in several regions, aiding in compliance with data residency requirements and enabling applications to be closer to users. The feature functions for organization instances that are integrated with external identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, utilizing customer-managed multi-region Key Management Service (KMS) keys for security. This addition is available at no additional cost and currently supports 17 enabled-by-default commercial AWS Regions, ensuring robust and flexible access management for organizations.</p>
