Amazon SES now offers Global Endpoints for multi-region sending resilience

Today, Amazon Simple Email Services (SES) announces the availability of Global Endpoints, a feature for resilient sending through two commercial AWS Regions. Global Endpoints works with SES APIv2 and allows customers to choose a primary and secondary Region which accommodate email sending workloads in an equal split under normal circumstances. If either region suffers an impairment, traffic shifts away from the affected Region towards the other, ensuring that email sending continues.

Unlike manual multi-region setups, Global Endpoints simplifies the synchronization of verified identities, approved sending limits, and configuration sets between the two chosen Regions. By working in a load-balanced manner, both Regions have active IP addresses ready for any customer email sending activity, and no manual effort is required to redistribute sending jobs during outages. Customers make use of a multi-region endpoint ID in place of an individual Region endpoint ID, without needing to make changes to their sending configurations. The feature also works with existing SES features, such as Dedicated IPs and Virtual Deliverability Manager.

Global Endpoints is available across all commercial AWS Regions where SES sending is already available.
