Sharing read-only access to your CloudWatch data with another AWS account
CloudWatch cross-account sharing in AWS is valuable for centralizing monitoring and management. It enables organizations to share monitoring data, including alarms, dashboards, and logs, across AWS accounts while maintaining resource isolation. This facilitates consolidated reporting, collaboration, troubleshooting, and cost management. Cross-account sharing allows for customized access control and fine-grained permissions, and is scalable for growing organizations. It simplifies the sharing of critical monitoring data, enhancing operational efficiency and visibility without compromising security.
