location

[Custom snapshot policies only] Specifies the destination for snapshots created by the policy. To create snapshots in the same Region as the source resource, specify CLOUD. To create snapshots on the same Outpost as the source resource, specify OUTPOST_LOCAL. If you omit this parameter, CLOUD is used by default.

If the policy targets resources in an Amazon Web Services Region, then you must create snapshots in the same Region as the source resource. If the policy targets resources on an Outpost, then you can create snapshots on the same Outpost as the source resource, or in the Region of that Outpost.
