The AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region acts as the backup region for AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region, and the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region acts as the backup region for the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. When health events occur, they are automatically sent to both the primary region and its designated backup region. For example, if you’re monitoring events in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region, then any health events are delivered to both the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region and the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. This system makes sure you continue receiving health notifications even if your primary region experiences issues. To create a backup rule, follow the procedure for [Configuring an EventBridge rule to send notifications about events in AWS Health](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/health/latest/ug/creating-event-bridge-events-rule-for-aws-health.html). + + * If you want to create an EventBridge integration with high availability, or if you prefer not to use backup functionality and want to add a filter to your backup region rule, see [Creating EventBridge rules for AWS Region coverage](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/health/latest/ug/choosing-a-region.html). + + * If you want to capture events from both AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions but prefer to configure only a single rule, then you can use simplified integration. To receive all Health events from both Regions, you can set up a single rule in either the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region or the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. However, you won’t have high availability configuration. + + * Some AWS Health events are not Region-specific. Events that aren’t specific to a Region are called global events. These include events sent for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). To receive global events in AWS GovCloud (US), you must create a rule in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. +
