+### Publish Lambda Layers to new AWS Regions
+
+When a new AWS region is available, make the Lambda Layers available in that region. Before doing so, ensure that the region supports AWS Lambda and that the Lambda Layers are compatible with the region.
+
+Then bootstrap the region both in the beta and prod accounts by running `npm run cdk bootstrap aws://<account-id>/<region>` for each account while in the `layers` directory. Next, run the [`layer-balancer` script](https://github.com/aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-python/tree/develop/layer/scripts/layer-balancer) to align the layer version in the new region with the existing regions.
+
+Finally, add the new region to the [`region` matrix](https://github.com/aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-typescript/blob/082b626c31f11138fb36d5724f922980d534c878/.github/workflows/reusable_deploy_layer_stack.yml#L33) in the `reusable_deploy_layer_stack.yml` workflow file, and add the corresponding ARN to the Lambda Layer ARN table in the [documentation](https://github.com/aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-typescript/blob/082b626c31f11138fb36d5724f922980d534c878/docs/index.md?plain=1#L42).
