amplify-cli: Missing Cape Town `af-south-1` AWS Region
Describe the bug Hey everyone 👋 .
The South African (Cape Town) AWS Region isn’t being shown as an option to select during the Amplify CLI configuration process. The AWS Region is af-south-1. I don’t know if there is a AWS limitation or AWS Region limitation for Cape Town to not be listen as an available region or not? It’s a fairly new AWS Region.
Amplify CLI Version 4.24.0
To Reproduce
Type aws configure and try to search for af-south-1.
Expected behavior
I expected the Cape Town af-south-1 AWS Region to be there.

Any updates on the availability of the AWS af-south-1 region?
I would also like to have my app running locally in South Africa. Do we have a timeframe?
Any updates on this?
Hi @Asjas, many regions that are not supported by the CLI are due to limitations of the regions themselves. I can’t comment on when it might get support, but we are looking into expanding the number of supported regions.
Still no support for Africa?
Edit: Really is a shame that this has been given the priority of p4 (the lowest)
My company and clients is patiently waiting for this capability from AWS South Africa (Cape Town) af-south-1 region. If you can provide timelines so we can plan or move over to another provider.
Pinging for any updates
