Amazon CloudWatch now supports resource tags when monitoring vended metrics

Today, Amazon CloudWatch announces support for a new tag-based telemetry experience to help customers monitor their metrics and set up their alarms using AWS resources tags. This new capability simplifies monitoring cloud infrastructure at scale by automatically adapting alarms and metrics analysis as resources change. DevOps engineers and cloud administrators can now create dynamic monitoring views that align with their organizational structure using their existing AWS resource tags. Tag-based querying filtering eliminates the manual overhead of updating alarms and dashboards after deployments, freeing teams to focus on innovation rather than maintenance. This provides faster, targeted insights that match how teams organize their systems. Teams can query AWS default metrics using their existing resource tags, making it easier to troubleshoot issues and maintain operational visibility while focusing on core business initiatives. CloudWatch tag-based filtering is available in the following regions: US East (N. Virginia); US East (Ohio); US West (N. California); US West (Oregon); Asia Pacific (Tokyo); Asia Pacific (Seoul); Asia Pacific (Singapore); Asia Pacific (Sydney); Asia Pacific (Mumbai); Asia Pacific (Osaka); Canada (Central); Europe (Frankfurt); Europe (Ireland); Europe (London); Europe (Paris); Europe (Stockholm) and South America (São Paulo). To get started, simply enable tag enriched telemetry with one click in the [Amazon CloudWatch](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/) Settings, or through the [AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/), and [AWS SDKs](https://aws.amazon.com/tools/) to use your existing AWS resource tags to monitor your infrastructure.
