Amazon EventBridge announces direct delivery to cross-account targets

Amazon EventBridge Event Bus now allows you to deliver events directly to AWS services in another account. This feature enables you to use multiple accounts to improve security and streamline business processes while reducing the overall cost and complexity of your architecture.

Amazon EventBridge Event Bus is a serverless event broker that enables you to create scalable event-driven applications by routing events between your own applications, third-party SaaS applications, and other AWS services. This launch allows you to directly target services in another account, without the need for additional infrastructure such as an intermediary EventBridge Event Bus or Lambda function, simplifying your architecture and reducing cost. For example, you can now route events from your EventBridge Event Bus directly to a different team's SQS queue in a different account. The team receiving events does not need to learn about or maintain EventBridge resources and simply needs to grant IAM permissions to provide access to the queue. Events can be delivered cross-account to EventBridge targets that support resource-based IAM policies such as Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon SNS, and Amazon API Gateway.

Direct delivery to cross-account targets is now available in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more, please read our blog post or visit our documentation. Pricing information is available on the EventBridge pricing page.
