Global vs regional

Services marked as global are region-independent (IAM, S3, Route53, CloudFront, etc.). When using --all-regions, global services are only scanned once to avoid duplicating results.

Service definition format

Each service entry in the registry has this structure:

"service_name": {
    "client": "boto3_client_name",
    "global": True,  # optional, default False
    "calls": [
        {
            "method": "api_method_name",
            "key": "ResponseKey",       # or None for full response
            "paginate": True,           # optional
            "params": {"key": "value"}, # optional fixed parameters
        },
    ],
}
