Provide geo locations for AWS resources #4

Description

@sopel

One of the discussed starting points for exploration of the various AWS data sources we intend to cover is a tile map with summary stats concerning the resources at hand as located on the globe.

This requires two types of geo coding:

  • dynamic - this covers IP address based data and is easily handled with the Logstash geoip filter
  • static - this covers well known, yet unspecified locations like AWS regions and CloudFront edge locations etc.
    • while these are nicely documented as such within AWS Global Infrastructure for example, surprisingly a resp. geo coded data set doesn't seem to be available
    • accordingly, one might start with the edge locations and denote one of them per region as the region's location
    • alternatively, I've found a single Amazon Web Services AWS Global Map and the _pageData element in the page source code contains the geo locations for the visualized subjects - not sure where the data stems from though
