AWS Edge Location Checker

AWS Edge Locations tells you whether CloudFront has an edge location in a country and resolves an edge code to its city, from data bundled with the page.

CloudFront has edge locations in 102 cities across 54 countries and territories, counted from the list on AWS's CloudFront features page (checked ). AWS puts the total at 750+ PoPs, plus 1,140+ embedded PoPs inside ISP networks, which also reach 5 more places: Panama, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Isle of Man, Monaco.

This page answers two questions about Amazon CloudFront's edge network. "Is there an edge location in this country?" is answered from the city list AWS publishes on its CloudFront features page, copied on October 8, 2026. "Where is this edge code?" decodes a code from a CloudFront log or the x-amz-cf-pop header, like ORD56-P8 or IAD12, into a city, country and pricing region, using the aws-edge-locations open-source dataset from November 2024. Both lists ship with the page, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Where the numbers come from

How to use it

  1. To check a country, type its name (or a city) into "Is there an edge location in..." and read the yes or no with the city list.
  2. To decode a code, type it (e.g. ORD56-P8 or IAD12) into "Edge location code" and press Enter or click "Check location".
  3. The code lookup matches the first three characters and shows the city, country, coordinates and pricing region.

Frequently asked questions

How many CloudFront edge locations are there?

AWS's CloudFront features page says CloudFront has 750+ Points of Presence in 100+ cities across 50+ countries, plus 1,140+ embedded PoPs inside ISP networks in 300+ cities, and 15 regional edge caches. The city list on that page, copied here on October 8, 2026, names 102 PoP cities in 54 countries and territories.

How do I check whether a country has an AWS edge location?

Type the country (or a city) into "Is there an edge location in...". It searches the city list AWS publishes on its CloudFront features page, checked October 8, 2026. For example, Israel has a CloudFront PoP in Tel Aviv, while Morocco does not appear on the list at all, as a PoP or an embedded PoP.

If my country has no edge location, can people there still use CloudFront?

Yes. CloudFront is a global network, and AWS routes each viewer's request to the edge location that can serve it with the lowest latency, which for a country with no PoP is one in a nearby country. What changes is the distance, and so the latency, not whether the site loads.

What is the difference between a PoP and an embedded PoP?

A CloudFront PoP sits in AWS's own network and peers with internet providers. An embedded PoP sits inside an internet provider's network, closer to that provider's customers. A country listed with embedded PoPs only, such as Ecuador or Panama, has CloudFront caches inside local ISPs but no AWS-run PoP.

What should I type in the code lookup?

The edge location code from a CloudFront log or the x-amz-cf-pop response header, like ORD56-P8 or IAD12. The lookup reads only the first three letters, which are an airport code, so ORD56-P8, ord56 and ORD all resolve to the same city.

Why does a code say no edge location was found?

Either the code was mistyped, or it belongs to a newer location. The code lookup uses the aws-edge-locations open-source dataset, last updated in November 2024, because AWS does not publish a code list. Locations added since, such as the PoPs AWS now lists in Saudi Arabia, may be missing from it. The country search above does not have that gap.

Does looking anything up send data to a server?

No. Both datasets ship inside the page, and every search runs in your browser with no network request.
