Amazon CloudWatch now supports cross-region telemetry auditing and enablement rules

Amazon CloudWatch Cross-Region Telemetry Enablement

Amazon CloudWatch now supports auditing telemetry configuration and enabling telemetry from AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon VPC, and AWS CloudTrail across multiple AWS Regions from a single region. Customers can enable the telemetry auditing feature for their account or organization across all supported regions at once and create enablement rules that automatically apply to selected regions or all available regions.

With today's launch, customers can scope enablement rules to specific regions or all supported regions. For example, a central security team can create a single organization-wide enablement rule for VPC Flow Logs that applies across all regions, ensuring consistent telemetry collection for every VPC across every account. Rules configured for all regions automatically expand to include new regions as they become available.

What to do

• Enable telemetry auditing for your account or organization.
• Create enablement rules for specific regions or all regions.
• Ensure consistent telemetry collection across all accounts and regions.
