Resource types you can search for with Resource Explorer
Resource Explorer supports resource types across numerous AWS services. Resource discovery happens
automatically when you access Resource Explorer with appropriate permissions. If you have, at minimum,
the permissions in the AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess managed policy, you can
immediately search all tagged resources and supported untagged resources created after the
immediate resource discovery release. For complete resource discovery with automatic updates, you'll
also need the iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole permission (included in the AWSResourceExplorerFullAccess managed policy). After the service-linked role is
created in your account by any user, subsequent users need only the permissions in the
AWSResourceExplorerReadOnlyAccess managed policy to get complete
results.
Topics
Some resource types are identified by Amazon resource name (ARN) strings that share a common format with another resource type. When this happens, Resource Explorer can report such resources as that other resource type. For list of resource types affected by this issue, see Resource types that appear as other types.
At this time, tags attached to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources, such as roles or users, can't be used for searching.
If you have encrypted access to some of your resources, Resource Explorer is unable to discover them. You will not see these resources in your search results.
The following tables list the resource types that are supported for searching in AWS Resource Explorer.
Note
As of October 13, 2025, Resource Explorer no longer supports the following resource types:
-
Amazon CloudWatch Evidently—
evidently:project -
Amazon CloudWatch Evidently—
evidently:project/experiment -
Amazon CloudWatch Evidently—
evidently:project/feature -
Amazon CloudWatch Evidently—
evidently:project/launch
As of October 1, 2025, Resource Explorer no longer supports the following resource types:
-
Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (Amazon QLDB) —
qldb:ledger -
Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (Amazon QLDB) —
qldb:stream
As of July 9, 2024, Resource Explorer no longer supports the following resource types:
-
Amazon Elastic Container Service —
ecs:task -

You can still use these resource types in their own services, but they are no longer indexed or searchable in Resource Explorer.

Programmatically accessing the list of supported resource types
To access the list of supported resource types from code, you can invoke the ListSupportedResourceTypes operation from any AWS SDK.
For example, you can run the list-supported-resource-types
$aws resource-explorer-2 list-supported-resource-types{ "ResourceTypes": [ { "ResourceType": "acm-pca:certificate-authority", "Service": "acm-pca" }, { "ResourceType": "airflow:environment", "Service": "airflow" }, { "ResourceType": "amplify:branches", "Service": "amplify" }, ... truncated for brevity ...
Resource types that appear as other types
Some resource types are identified by Amazon resource name (ARN) strings that share a common format with another resource type. When this happens, Resource Explorer can report such resources as that other resource type. This affects the resource types in the following table.
