Amazon EventBridge expands IAM execution role support to all targets

Amazon EventBridge expands execution role support to AWS Lambda, Amazon SNS, and Amazon SQS event bus targets, making this feature available for all target types. We recommend configuring execution roles for all your EventBridge targets to benefit from consistent permissions policies and dedicated invocation throttle limits.

Amazon EventBridge Event Bus is a serverless event broker that enables you to create scalable event-driven applications by routing events between your own applications, third-party SaaS applications, and other AWS services. An execution role is an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that EventBridge assumes when invoking a target, giving you fine-grained control over which AWS services and resources EventBridge can access. The expansion to Lambda, SNS, and SQS targets allows consistent permissions across all EventBridge targets, enables setting permissions for multiple targets within a single IAM policy, and can help manage throughput by using your account-specific limits.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions, including AWS GovCloud (US). To learn more, please visit our documentation or get started in the AWS Management Console.
