AWS improves regional resiliency for root user sign-in

<p>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.</p> <p>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).</p> <p>To learn more, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/signin/latest/userguide/introduction-to-root-user-sign-in-tutorial.html">AWS Sign-In documentation</a> and the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-event-reference-aws-console-sign-in-events.html#cloudtrail-event-reference-aws-console-sign-in-events-root">CloudTrail ConsoleLogin event reference</a>.</p>
