Supported AWS regions for the AWS Partner Central Channel API
You can access the AWS Partner Central channel management service from any AWS commercial region with the following end point.
partnercentral-channel.global.api.aws
Signing requests with SigV4a
Because the AWS Partner Central Channel API uses a global endpoint, requests are signed with Signature Version 4a (SigV4a), an extension of SigV4 that supports signing with asymmetric cryptography, enabling signatures that are verifiable across multiple AWS Regions.
Using the AWS SDK or CLI
If you use an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, SigV4a signing is handled automatically when you call the global endpoint. No additional configuration is required.
Signing requests manually
If you sign requests manually without an SDK, be aware of the following differences from standard SigV4:
-
SigV4a derives an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) keypair from your existing AWS secret access key, rather than using HMAC-based key derivation.
-
The credential scope uses
*for the region component instead of a specific Region name, because the signature is valid across Regions.
