This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
Identifier of an AWS resource, used in IAM policies, tags and API calls: arn, the partition (aws, aws-cn, aws-us-gov and others), the service namespace, the Region, the 12-digit account ID and the resource, separated by colons. Some resources omit the Region, the account ID or both, and the resource part may contain a type, a path and, in policies, wildcards. AWS does not consider ARNs secret.
