Amazon CloudWatch cross-account cross-region dashboards now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Posted on: Mar 20, 2020

You can now use Amazon CloudWatch cross-account cross-region dashboards in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Cross-account cross-region dashboards enable you to create high level operational dashboards, with one click drill downs into more specific dashboards in different AWS accounts, without having to log in and out of different accounts or switch AWS Regions. The ability to visualize, aggregate, and summarize performance and operational data across accounts and Regions helps reduce mean time to resolution.

CloudWatch cross-account cross-region dashboards can be used to visualize application or resource health and performance in multiple AWS accounts and Regions. You can share visibility of monitoring data from one or more accounts in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions with one or more monitoring accounts also in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. This enables you to more easily monitor and troubleshoot applications and resources across many accounts and Regions.

CloudWatch cross-account cross-region dashboards are available in all commercial Regions, and AWS GovCloud (US). For more information about this feature, read the CloudWatch Cross-Account Cross-Region Dashboards blog post or read the documentation.
