==Observation

When I ask users of AWS to navigate to a specific AWS service, the user typically takes a few seconds sinking in on the overwhelming number of services in the console page, subsequently entering the service name via Ctrl-F to find where to click.

==Problem

Too many service. Too difficult to find where the link is. Why is there no simple seach bar?

==Solution

Naturally, based on the observation, let's build a AWS Launcher that has search capability to help easily launch specific AWS services console.

==Features

* Instant Search to launching AWS services - no more scanning the console home page to see where to click
* Enter to launch first listed service - type and enter and launch - don't need to use the mouse to click and launch

==Further Work

* save state
* MRU
* settings

Guangyang Li (ID: 0000003948f2cab0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/27/2020 EMR link is broken. https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/emr/ => https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce/

Andrew Choo (ID: 0000003d4ec478e2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/17/2019 Thanks for this. Really useful and much potential. Just need to be able to set default AZ (only reason why the 4star) and possibly set default keyboard shortcut. Other customization options are for listed AZ, icons, colors, font etc. would also be welcome.
