So its easy to get the Amazon EC2 region endpoints simply via an API call (DescribeRegions)

But how do I do this with the SimpleDB API, there is no obvious (to me) call. (and the endpoints are different, so I can’t just use the EC2 one’s)

Edit: Oh, I’m using the .NET API

    There are no SimpleDB API calls similiar to DescribeRegions. The documentation is the only source for the public endpoints. Currently there are 4 of them:

    • sdb.amazonaws.com — Endpoint located in the US-East (Northern Virginia) Region
    • sdb.us-west-1.amazonaws.com — Endpoint located in the US-West (Northern California) Region
    • sdb.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com — Endpoint located in the EU (Ireland) Region
    • sdb.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com — Endpoint located in the Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region

    Here is a direct link to the doc page that maintains the most up to date list of these endpoints. If new ones are added, you’ll know by looking here:
