Amazon EventBridge EventBus allows customers to audit and monitor the actions in their Amazon Web Services environments through events that are generated by Amazon CloudTrail for API calls. Previously, only mutating API calls (for example: Create, Update, or Delete) were available in EventBridge. With support for read-only API events (for example: List, Get or Describe), customers will be able to receive and process the full suite of CloudTrail events from services that are integrated with EventBridge.
Amazon EventBridge EventBus is a serverless event router that enables you to create scalable event-driven applications by routing events between your own applications, third-party SaaS applications, and other Amazon Web Services. You can set up routing rules to determine where to send your data, allowing applications to react to changes in your data as they occur.
With read-only API events, customers can now build rich event-driven responses from any action taken on Amazon Web Services infrastructure without having to poll a batch of log files to detect threats in real-time. For example, you can be alerted if a production account lists or enumerates resources from an IP address outside of your VPC. These events are opt-in for customers and you need to update your rule state via PutRule API to start receiving these events. If you have event patterns that match these events, your downstream services will start processing these additional events. To learn more, please visit our documentation.
Read-only events are published from Amazon Web Services and are free for customers. Support for read-only events is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
