Amazon CloudWatch launches cross-account observability in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS launches CloudWatch cross-account observability in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, enabling monitoring and troubleshooting of applications across multiple AWS accounts within an AWS GovCloud (US) Region. CloudWatch Cross-account observability allows seamless searching, visualization, and analysis of metrics, logs, and traces, removing account boundaries. Security teams, operations teams, and service owners can now easily explore cross-account telemetry and analyze them to drive powerful insights helping to efficiently monitor and troubleshoot application health issues. CloudWatch Cross-account observability enables searching log groups across multiple accounts, running cross-account Logs Insights queries, and creating Contributor Insights rules to identify top contributors generating log entries. You can now run Metrics Insights queries on your cross-account metrics for a consolidated view and create cross-account alarms. With cross-account observability, you can now use AWS X-Ray Trace Map to monitor your cross-account applications or achieve single pane of glass observability on your end-to-end distributed traces for requests spanning across multiple accounts. For example, users can obtain end-to-end distributed traces tracking AWS Lambda functions calling each other across accounts. This eliminates the need to switch between accounts during troubleshooting, saving time and providing comprehensive visibility. CloudWatch cross-account observability is now available in all commercial [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions with no extra cost for logs and metrics, and the first trace copy is free. Detailed pricing information and documentation are available on the [Amazon CloudWatch pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/) and [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Unified-Cross-Account.html) pages.
