AWS Security Token Service endpoints and quotas
The following are the service endpoints and service quotas for this service. To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. In addition to the standard AWS endpoints, some AWS services offer FIPS endpoints in selected Regions. For more information, see AWS service endpoints. Service quotas, also referred to as limits, are the maximum number of service resources or operations for your AWS account. For more information, see AWS service quotas.
Service endpoints
By default, the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) is available as a global service, and all STS requests go to a single endpoint at https://sts.amazonaws.com. AWS recommends using Regional STS endpoints to reduce latency, build in redundancy, and increase session
token validity. Most Regional endpoints are active by default, but you must manually enable endpoints for some Regions, such as Asia Pacific (Hong Kong).
You can deactivate STS endpoints for any Regions that are enabled by default if you do not intend to use those Regions.
For more information, see Activating and Deactivating AWS STS in an AWS Region in the IAM User Guide.
