AWS Edge Location Checker
AWS Edge Locations resolves a CloudFront edge code to its city, country and pricing region from a dataset bundled with the page, making no API calls.
Enter an AWS CloudFront edge location code (e.g., ORD56-P8, IAD12) to get location details

This decodes AWS CloudFront edge location codes, like ORD56-P8 or IAD12, into a city, country, and AWS pricing region. The lookup runs against a dataset bundled directly into the app, not a live AWS API, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.
How to use it
- Type an AWS CloudFront edge location code (e.g., ORD56-P8 or IAD12) into the field.
- Click "Check Location," or press Enter.
- The tool reads the first three characters of the code and matches them against the bundled dataset.
- See the city, country, coordinates, and pricing region for that edge location.
Frequently asked questions
Does looking up a code send anything to a server?
No - the full AWS edge location dataset ships inside the app, and a lookup runs as a plain in-browser object read against it. No network request happens when you check a code.
What exactly should I type in the box?
Just the location code, like ORD56-P8 or IAD12. The tool only reads the first three characters and uppercases them, so ORD56-P8, ord56, and ORD all resolve to the same result.
What details do I get back for a match?
City, country, latitude and longitude, and the AWS pricing region tied to that edge location.
Why does it say no edge location was found?
Either that three-letter prefix isn't in the published edge location list, or the code was mistyped - double-check the first three characters you entered.
Is the location data kept current?
It comes from the aws-edge-locations npm package's bundled dataset, which updates whenever this site upgrades that dependency - it's not a live feed from AWS.
