AWS improves regional resiliency for root user sign-in
Share
Services
AWS root user sign-in is now served across US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon), with sign-in traffic distributed across all three Regions. This change reduces reliance on US East (N. Virginia) and improves resiliency during service disruptions. AWS automatically routes your root user sign-in to a supported Region without requiring you to select a Region or change how you sign in. This improvement is available now for all AWS accounts. In AWS CloudTrail, ConsoleLogin events for root user sign-ins are recorded in the Region that processed the sign-in request. To maintain full visibility into root user sign-in activity, update your monitoring and alerting to cover US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon).
