AWS Health enhances Amazon EventBridge to give more flexibility and higher resilience

Amazon EventBridge Multi-Region Redundancy for AWS Health Events

Customers using Amazon EventBridge can now setup rules for AWS Health events with multi-region redundancy, or choose a simplified path by creating a single rule to capture all Health events. With this enhancement, Health sends all events simultaneously to US West (Oregon) as well as the individual region of impact.

Sending Health events to two regions gives customers an option to increase the resilience of their integration by creating a backup rule. US West (Oregon) is the backup for all regions in commercial partition, while US East (N. Virginia) is the backup for US West (Oregon). Plus, this change also enables a simplified integration path, where customers can now setup a single rule in US West (Oregon) to capture all Health events from across commercial partition, as opposed to needing to configure rules in individual regions. Customers now have greater flexibility in their integration approach for receiving Health events.

What to do

• Review your current EventBridge rules for AWS Health events.
• Consider setting up a backup rule in US West (Oregon) for increased resilience.
• Explore the simplified integration path by creating a single rule in US West (Oregon).
