AWS cognito: Retitle B2B multi-tenant page and add tenant isolation overview

Service: cognito · 2026-10-09 · Documentation medium

File: cognito/latest/developerguide/multi-tenant-application-best-practices.md · Type: authz

Summary

Heading changed to 'Building B2B multi-tenant applications' and a new introductory paragraph was added describing tenant separation within a Region/account and across accounts/Regions, emphasizing the highest level of isolation; also fixed the quotas link target.

Security assessment

The added text documents tenant-isolation architecture (separating tenants across pools/accounts/Regions) which is a security best practice for limiting cross-tenant access, but it is guidance rather than a fix for a specific vulnerability.

Evidence

+This section describes methods that you can implement to separate tenants between Amazon Cognito resources within the same Region and AWS account. You can also split your tenants across more than one AWS account or Region, and give each of them their own quota. Other advantages of multi-Region multi-tenancy include the highest possible level of isolation, shortest network-transit time for globally distributed users, and adherence to existing distribution models in your organization.
