2 minute read
Introduction
The LocalStack Resource Browser allow you to view, manage, and deploy AWS resources locally while building & testing their cloud applications locally. It provides an internal, integrated experience, similar to the AWS Management Console, to manage the ephemeral resources in a LocalStack container on your local machine.
The Resource Browser provide an experience similar to the AWS Management Console. However, the Resource Browser is not a replacement for the AWS Management Console and only replicate some of the features of the AWS Management Console. We recommend using our integrations to create your resources, with the Resource Browser being used for quick viewing and management of your resources.
The LocalStack Web Application connects to your LocalStack container and retrieves the information about your local resources directly via localhost without using the internet. None of the information is sent to the internet, or stored on any external servers maintained by LocalStack.
Switching AWS regions
An AWS region dropdown menu in the dashboard is located on the top right of the page. You can select your desired region to ensure that you can view your resources. If you cannot view resources that you have recently created, you should verify that you are checking the resources in the correct region.Supported services
