AWS CloudWatch introduced capabilities to audit telemetry configuration and enable telemetry data collection—such as VPC Flow Logs and CloudTrail—across multiple regions from one centralized account. Administrators can create enablement rules that automatically apply to chosen or all regions; these rules dynamically include newly launched regions, ensuring consistent telemetry coverage.
This feature targets organizations managing multiple regions or accounts, simplifying the enforcement of telemetry standards and aiding centralized security and operational compliance. It is available in all AWS commercial regions with standard CloudWatch ingestion pricing.
